Each New Day Luke Dahlenburg

Did you know that astronauts who come back to earth can forget about gravity? For something so important in keeping us grounded to the earth it seems strange that you can just forget about it. I reckon, if you are like me, you can sometimes forget about God, like the astronauts forget about gravity.

What do getting petrol, grumbling and being thankful all have in common? They are all moments that you can give thanks to God.

Have you ever felt like you can run after with new shoes, or been wowed at how white and clean they are? New and old shoes can help remind us of how God shows off his glory in Jesus, and that all the other glorious ways he made himself know in the past are a bit like old shoes compared to the new.

Have you ever been told to hurry up, get ready or we will be late? No one's ever had to tell God to hurry or he will be late! For him 1,000 years are like a day. And one day is like 1,000? Have a listen to see why that's really great news.

Did you know that Potatoes, tomatoes and roses have been grown in outer space? Turns out that space roses smell really good, and remind us of how God’s love for us is deeper, wider, longer and more beautiful than any kind of love we can find on earth.

Do you have a favourite smell? We love cinnamon in our family - especially that time we got a packet from overseas. This delightful fragrance reminds me of the foretaste we get now of God’s future kindness and how one day, we will experienced the fullness of God in a New Creation.
