Beginning

Charles Stanley 35

If you wish to make this your very best year yet, allow God to begin it—every day of it—and trust Him to show you what He wants to accomplish in and through you.

The promise of a new beginning stirs hope in our souls.

The promise of a new beginning stirs hope in our souls.




Beginning
Proverbs 1; Genesis 1; Isaiah 43:19

The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshipping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]. Proverbs 1:7 AMP

When start of a new year, along with it come fresh hopes and opportunities. A whole set of possibilities and uncertainties stand before you.

The prospect of these new beginnings fills us with great awe, which is why many people make such an effort to commemorate this day—making resolutions and celebrating their arrival. The promise of a new beginning stirs hope in our souls.

But from the very first verse in Scripture—Genesis 1:1—we see that the most powerful beginnings come from God. And the very best, most fulfilling and fruitful commencements do not just include the Father but are initiated and guided by Him.


So as you start this year, the most important principle for you to embrace is that God formed you for a purpose and has been shaping you for the days and months ahead. He has a plan for you that is good, acceptable, and wise—and He promises to lead you well.

Your responsibility is to always acknowledge Him as the living God, your Lord, and the sovereign Architect and Ruler of all creation.

If you wish to make this your very best year yet, allow God to begin it—every day of it—and trust Him to show you what He wants to accomplish in and through you.

Look for Him to initiate the opportunities, healings, spiritual growth, and new areas of fruitfulness. For to do so, friend, is the very heart of wisdom.

Father, thank You for this new year and all the hope it brings. Lead me, Lord, I revere You as my Savior and wise King, and know that the best beginnings are from You. Amen.

The Personal Tag

Rick Christian
To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode! Are you sure, Luke? My name recorded in God’s Book of Life? I suppose God could keep roll more efficiently by using my social security number or bank account number.
In eschato- logical terms, the kingdom refers to the millennial reign of Christ when He will return to run earth from Jerusa- lem for His thousand-year reign.

A Kingdom Man Seeks Priceless Treasure

Tony Evans
Men, you have a choice. Jesus speaks of a treasure: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field,” He said (Matthew 13:44). It’s a treasure for which absolutely nothing should stand in the way.
He knows that the ones He loves will find life, ultimate meaning, purpose, and joy nowhere else.

El Kanna, Jealous God

Christopher D. Hudson
Divine jealousy isn’t motivated by greed or selfishness. God’s holy jealousy is rooted in a desire to protect, provide, and bless. He always and only wants what is best for His chosen ones. And what can be better than His perfect love?
Getting to know people takes time, and we need to see them in all kinds of situations and watch how they respond.

Choose Your Friends Carefully

Joyce Meyer
The company we keep is important because we tend to take on the traits of those with whom we spend a lot of time. Choose to spend time with people who will make you a better person.
knowing we have such an intimate relationship with God should lead us to respond with prayer, listening to his Word, and obedience.

Rooted in Love

Yechiel Eckstein
Christians and Jews differ on many points of theology, but we share this powerful bond—that we are called into an intimate, mutual, and loving relationship with God that requires us to seek his face daily in prayer, listen to his voice by studying his Word, and obey him.
