Today is Monday. A new day has begun and a new week is in front of you. Before your mind begins to look back at everything that happened last week, pause for a moment and hear this truth. In Christ, your story is not written by yesterday. Scripture says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV). Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ, your life is not defined by your worst moment, your biggest mistake, or the things that try to accuse your heart. When Jesus went to the cross, He carried the full weight of sin, shame, and failure so that you would not have to carry them into every new day.
This means you do not have to drag yesterday into this week. The cross already settled what stood against you. Scripture says that God “canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14 ESV). Every accusation that tries to follow you into this week has already been answered by Jesus. The voice that says you failed too many times has already been silenced by the blood of Christ. Because of the finished work of Jesus, your standing with God is not fragile. It is secure.
