New Year

It's January 1st, 2006. Sunday. Check out your clean slate.



I know it's the New Year, but today actually feels new to me. I think a lot of people feel this way when the calendar flips to reveal a new year. New time. New day. New possibilities. New opportunities to say yes. New ways to take new steps. New all around. Twelve great months to fill up with great things. New things.

There is a Bible verse that says, "For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You (Psalm 86:5)." Another. "Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness (Lam. 3:22-23)."

Did you get that? His mercy is abundant and new every morning. That's what I'm feeeling right now. The newness of it all; especially the newness of His mercy. It's abundant and new every day.

I pray you feel the abundant mercy of God today. And begin this year by calling on His compassions; they fail not. He is faithful.
