I always enjoy a new year because it is a time of new beginnings. Christianity is uniquely about new beginnings. The Bible begins with a story about "beginnings" pointing out that God is the great originator; He is the prime mover, the primal cause of everything that exists (Genesis 1). He speaks and life comes into existence out of nothing.
The New Testament also points to a God who is the author of new beginnings. 2 Corinthians promises a fresh start for anyone willing to follow Christ Jesus and experience the life changing power of His presence. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reads, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
What area of your life needs a new beginning? Are you looking for a new career, better relationships, better parenting, or a change in your financial picture? Let God begin a new work in you in 2011. When we turn to God, a fresh start is a real possibility. Happy New Year.
