I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8
I was thinking about new beginning and second chances. Everyone always starts the New Year with the best intentions. Some want to find love, others want to focus on health and career or family and some may even wish to renew their spiritual Relationships with the Creator. I like it when people are full of hope, full of energy and full of optimism. For the first time in many years my church was full to its capacity. The fire department would not allow anyone else in. The sanctuary and all the overflow rooms were full. People want to be at the right place at the right time. But God is not there only on New Year. He is with us every day, and 24/7. The Bible says that the One who watches over you will not slumber or sleep. He is the Great I Am, the one who is and the one to come. Every day can be your new beginning. The Bible says today is the day of salvation and not tomorrow or next year
Friend, as many are taking advantage of today, let remind them that every day and every moment is an opportunity to seek God. He is always present. Scripture reveals that He is actively watching over His Word to perform it. If you miss the opportunity at midnight, don’t worry. It is still time. God loves you. He is waiting to welcome you in His family. What does God want you to find when you come to Him? God wants you to know the love of his family: 1) To receive the love of Christ that brings you into God’s family, 2) To imitate the love of Christ as members of God’s family God has always given us is pure love and pure devotion. 3) God wants you to have eternal life.
My dear friend, all New Year resolutions are futile unless you recognize the One who give you life; The One has the ability to turn dreams into reality. The One who already made plan for you before your birth (Jeremiah 29, Psalm 139).
May you find God! May you experience the intimate relationship that He offers! May you embrace His undeniable and unconditional love! May you find peace that surpasses all intelligence! May you be filled with the Holy Spirit! May your cup be filled to overflow and may you be blessed!
Praise the Lord!
