Welcome the New Year

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.—Revelation 22:13 (NIV)
The Japanese have a word that means welcoming the first sunrise of the new year: hatsuhinode. This morning, reflect on the passage of time and the blessings that will unfold in the days to come. Lose yourself in the majesty of the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the grace of God shining right now.
Heavenly Father, You are the beginning and the end, the Light of my life. I trust You with my days and I praise You for Your glory.

Open Your Heart to New Beginnings

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
As you encounter new opportunities, remember Norman Vincent Peale’s inspiring words: “Throw your heart over the fence, and the rest will follow.” By giving yourself wholeheartedly to change, you passionately demonstrate your commitment to pursuing your dreams and aspirations.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your unwavering love and guidance. I am excited about the new beginnings you have planned for me this year.

A Grateful Start

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NIV)
In this verse , “thanks” is translated from the Greek word eucharisteo, meaning “to be grateful.” As you just ended the year with thankfulness, begin with gratitude, knowing that as the future unfolds, God’s glorious presence is with you.
Lord, my grateful heart is filled with Your light, which will comfort and guide me through the bright days ahead.

Peace in God’s Word

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)
“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet, He took on flesh and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because His love is so deep and so strong, it never ends.
Dear God, at the start of this brand-new year, guide me to make a difference in this world for Your glory.

Start the New Year with God

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Since the new year will not be any newer than you are, make up your mind that you are going to be new.” Today is a glorious beginning. A time to focus on a future filled with prayer and praise, service to God and mankind; a future filled with God’s presence, guided by His wisdom and empowered by His strength.

Father Almighty, this is Your New Year. Shine Your love into my life, fill me with Your peace and encourage me with Your promises.
