All
of us have a need to start afresh, to
have a clean slate, a new lease on
life. How
comforting are these words from
Lamentations: In
other words, God offers a fresh start
not just once a year but each and every
day! Through
Jesus Christ, we are the beneificiaries
of a covenant with God Himself, a
covenant that should revolutionize our
day-to-day living. The
Apostle Peter put it this
way: Through
these he has given us his very great
and precious promises, so that
through them you may participate in
the divine nature and escape the
corruption in the world caused by
evil desires. (2 Peter
1:3-4) Participation
in God's nature opens to us the
experience of •
the fullness of His peace; As
always, with privilege comes
responsibility. To enjoy the privileges
of the covenant we must be seeking to
live by the covenant. What
does the Lord require of us? God
answered that through the prophet
Micah: Let
us walk together into the plans God has
made for us this year, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future
"(Jeremiah 29:11). And
no matter what this year may bring, we
can trust Him to give us everything we
need, day by day.

Everything
we need
The
covenant assures us
of God's constant care
"...Yet
this I call to mind and therefore I
have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are
not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is
your
faithfulness."
(Lamentations
3:21-23)
The
beginning of a new year is like turning
a page and being able to start over on
a clean sheet of paper.
