Looking Ahead

It is the night BEFORE New Year's Eve, and we are all anticipating a brand new beginning when the calendar changes to January 1. Many of us will make New Year's Resolutions (i.e., lose weight, go to the gym, start a new business, etc.) But why is it that our resolutions don't last too long? Do we get bored? Lose interest? Give up too easily? 

Human nature merits that we get excited about New Things. But when those New Things grow Old, we lose interest. We lose excitement.  This sadly happens not only in things but in people.  New relationships suddenly become boring, unsatisfactory, stale, outdated, and soon we are on the prowl for someone else. 

God has better plans for all of us.  But we do not have to wait until 2016, because we can make it up in our minds tonight to change direction. 

We can experience new things everyday! God is all about recreating, renewing, and transforming the useless into the useful.

Consider these passages of Scripture:

"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” - Isaiah 42:9

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17

REMEMBER .... GOD WANTS YOU!!!!!
