A New Year

2 January  2013     

1 Corinthians 5:7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened.

In order for this to be a New Year we need to have new thoughts and a newness about ourselves, the Old Year is gone and the New Year has begun. For some this is a time of resolutions and decisions, some that work and some that fail, the real issue is not the resolution or the idea, but attitude. What is your attitude to life, yourself and to others?

The problem with time is that our yesterdays impact on our today and our today influences our tomorrows, and when we have a moment in time where we are able to stop and start again we should take it. A New Year is not a man thing but a God thing, even in the Old Testament on the Lunar Calendar the year ended and a new year began. What you do with the new is up to you, but God has promised that He has begun a new work in you, is it not now the time for it to be seen in you?

Be encouraged today to start afresh.

 

David

Point to ponder: God has begun a new work in you.

Question to consider: Will you allow the new to be seen in you?
