It’s a new day! Every day is a new chapter of your life, and one that is meant to be lived like a fresh breath or breeze, like a new season, like a brand new package that has yet to be opened. 
I will help you to keep your mind on today and to live that verse about forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forward. I help you have the strength to reach over and to turn the page when one day ends and the next is ready to begin. 
I help you to not sit there for too long looking over it and being sad or despondent about the few things drawn or written on it, or the splotches and mistakes, or the blankness of it. I help you to move on, and this way the next page gets quick and ardent focus, and your best attention. If part of your mind is in the past, and another part is in the wistful “I wish would happen” in the future, what percentage of your focus is there for doing your best today? It wouldn’t be 100%. 
But this is the only day you have, right now. You can’t live more than one day at a time, from where you are, in your shoes. So to do your best right here, right now, you’ve got to give Jesus your best for this one day. Give nothing to yesterday, it’s a waste of your resources. And paying towards the future is rather shaky as you can’t make it happen in the way you wish. You try to do this “paying towards the future” by “taking thought for tomorrow” as the Bible says not to do.
Wake today, pushing aside the pages of the past. And resist the urge to try to skip some pages ahead and hope to be able to make a mark or scribble there, so when you get there to that future page you can be assured a certain something will happen. But you can’t do that, for the pages are ever white, and can’t be marked until you get there. It’s almost like they are made of light and it can’t be written on. Only today can. Give today to Jesus. Give Him the pen, and lay down before Him as flat and thin in humility like a blank page in a book, waiting for Him to use you to leave His mark on today.
