The Only True New Year

Monday, January 2, 2017

We come to the beginning of a New Year. But what's new about a New Year? It's just another day and the date of January 1 is arbitrary. So what makes it new? Nothing. The only thing that makes New Years new, or for that matter any month, week, or day new is the power of God. For God is the one who, in revelation says: "I am making all things new..." Only God has the power of newness and new beginnings. It's not the morning that makes things new but His mercies which are new every morning. Do you want this to be a truly new year? Then don't expect it to be new simply because it's called a new year. If you want it to be a new year then resolve to walk in the power of the Lord's newness. For those who are led by the Spirit, are given the power to walk in the newness of life. Commit yourself to walk in the Spirit and power of His newness, and you'll have a truly new year and a year of newness.
