So for this week I am thankful for the new year. Actually new Beginnings is more like it. I look forward to the beginning of each year because then i can refresh my outlook! NOW it is NOT limited to the beginning of the new year BUT each day has a new beginning, was week has a new beginning.
NOW as believers we had the ultimate new beginning when we accepted Christ as our Savior. No one but believers get that kind of new beginning!
Now new beginnings does not mean you get a clean slate. we live in a fallen world and we will suffer consequences from either our decisions or someone Else’s. now our immediate thought is “that’s not fair” well as a believer our faith is not built on what’s fair” if it were we would all end up in hell BUT because of a perfect man willing to sacrifice everything he had (his Life). He didn’t deserve to die and That was NOT fair!
So if you don’t get a clean slate what is no great about new beginnings….OUTLOOK! Or new focus. At any point you can get a new focus or outlook! Which coincidentally if you are a believer should ALWAYS revolve around Christ! What’s a good outlook to have How about 1 Corinthians 10:31 which say
Whatever you eat or drink, or whatever you do do ALL to the glory of God. We have made this our family verse for the year BUT more on that in a different blog post!
So I hope you have a wonderful New year. And i am praying that it will be a Christ centered new year at that!
