New morning. New day. New week. New month. New year. New life. New pain. New challenges. New friends. New jobs. New struggles. New memories. New knowledge. New toys. New homes. New direction. New dreams. New starts. New love. New inside jokes. New songs. New stories. New adventures. New hurts. New scars. New car smell. New books. New food. New fears. New trends. New heartache. New joy. New disasters. New victories. New discoveries. New traditions. New seasons. New strength. New growth. New mercies.
Isa 43:18-21 "Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field will glorify Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My chosen people. The people whom I formed for Myself Will declare My praise."
Behold He is doing something new. I love that our Lord loves new things; I feel like He probably would have the Engadget App on His ipad. He is not interested in staleness rather He is constantly moving His people on His redeeming path toward the new Heaven and the New Earth. Forgiveness, mercy, hope, grace - He likes a clean slate. New may not always be pleasant but it never stands still. New may not be easy but it never lacks hope. I don't know what 2011 holds, but praise God it is new! "Will you not be aware of it?"
Happy New Year!
