The Renewal

The new year is almost upon us and that means that this year will soon be dead. There are a lot ways that people look at the new year. Some bury the previous years woes in beer and "pleasure", some make new year's resolutions, and some just sleep right through it as if it were another day. I offer a different way of looking at it to you this time around.

When we confess our sins to God, He is faithful to forgive us. He casts our sins as far as the East is from the West. This year as 2009 passes away, lets let our mistakes and wrongs die with it. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says the old has passed away, behold the new has come. God doesn't keep any records of wrongdoing. Why should we?

Don't let what you didn't get done or what shouldn't have done stop you from enjoying life. God wants each and everyone of us to live in prosperity and health. God also watches over His Word to perform it. Take hold of what is rightfully yours this coming year!

1 Chronicles 4:10 (New Living Translation taken from www.biblegateway.com)
10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

God wants to bless you but you have to accept the gift! Just like at Christmas when somebody gave you a gift... It was yours but you couldn't enjoy it till you unwrapped it, opened it, and ACCEPTED IT! God has great things planned for 2010, He has great things planned for YOU! Stand on HIS word and HE will fulfill it!

God Bless and I pray you enjoy your New Year!
