At some point in our lives, each one of us has had an opportunity or an event that caused us to think about pressing the reset button — starting over! This place is too small, too restrictive, too crazy… This situation is too tiring, too boring, or even too excitable… This person is too oppressive, too depressing, TOO MUCH! Lord Jesus, I need to start this day over!

When David had had all that he could take of the violence in the city, he moaned in Psalm 55, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” He just wanted to get away from his colleagues who had become his enemies. He didn’t care where he would go. He was ready for a new day, so he appealed to God. He wouldn’t make it very far alone, would he? Let’s remember that it is the same with us. We can’t make it on our own.

So… In preparation for the new day, our part will be to ask ourselves, what will we bring in, what will we leave behind, and what are we on the fence about?
