Try something new every day
From this time forth I announce to you new things, hidden things that you have not known. (Isaiah 48:6 ESV)
At any point in time, there’s always someone looking to revitalize their life or turn over a new leaf. If that’s you right now, here’s a simple plan that I found to be incredibly helpful and easy to do, Try something new every day. Change how you spend time with God, pray in a new way, talk to someone at work you’ve never approached before, etc. There will always be new things to add to the list.
Trying something new every day not only helps to keep you out of ruts and going through the motions, but also helps to give you a new and excited spirit. It will keep your mind positive and have you looking for new opportunities, seizing unexpected or unusual chances when you’re blessed with them.
What new thing am I going to do today? Is an inspiring thought to wake up to, and reflecting on the answer to that question as you go to sleep is a rewarding way to end the day.
And besides personal satisfaction and empowerment, having a fresh and new outlook on each day makes us better able to reflect God’s nature. Jesus likened the Holy Spirit to living water—moving, flowing water that never runs dry. If we try something new every day, we won’t be dry or dull as we bring people to the most vibrant, radical, and beautiful Man of all time. [1]
Walk boldly and wisely. There is a hand above that will help you on. - Philip James Bailey (1816–1902)
