Question

Accepted Answer

A new year invites fresh starts. Scripture speaks of mercies that are new every morning, of God doing a new thing, and of plans held in His hands. Isaiah 43:18-19: ““Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Lamentations 3:22-23: “It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.” 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.” Philippians 3:13-14: “Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Psalm 90:12: “So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Proverbs 16:3: “Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans shall succeed.” Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.” Joshua 1:9: “Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.””
