It's another beginning! Beginning of a new year that is. New years always give new opportunities. Here's your chance to create a new life, a new focus, a new path, a new healthy habit. Everything is behind you now. Today is a new day. You can cut a new path beginning today.
I was reading this passage thinking what the real beginning would have been like, watching creation come into existence. It struck me that when God spoke the heavens and earth into existence it was still dark. Darkness covered everything. It was formless. It was void. Then God spoke these simple words and everything changed, "Let there be light."
What's interesting to me is the darkness, formless and void. God created the earth, but that was it until God spoke. God saw the potential of a dark, formless blob. He spoke and His vision began to take shape; day, night, oceans, skies, continents, plants, trees, sun, moon, fish, birds, animals, and finally human beings. Only man He added a touch, He breathed into Him life.
I was just thinking, man didn't created himself. He didn't make himself. God did it. Instead of trying to recreate yourself, how about letting God do it. If God can take a formless, void blob and create the earth with all it's beauty and splendor, what can He do for you? Why not ask God to form you into His image this year? Ask Him to take control of your life. Ask Him to mold you and use you and work His work in you.
God, forget New Years Resolutions, I can never keep those anyway. I need you to form me, recreate me, change me into your image. I realize this is a daily endeavor. I want you, I need you to work your work in me. Thanks for new beginnings.
