“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 ESV).
It’s a new year and it can be a new “beginning” for us too. For the God that “created the heavens and the earth” is the same God today as He was yesterday. Just as He created all things in the beginning, so He can make us a new creation in Christ and give us a new beginning in 2025.
As the prophet Jeremiah observed, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lam.3:22-23).
It’s a new morning and a new year, so why not join us each day as we read through God’s Word together? We call it the “OYB Bus” (“One Year Bible”) because we’re taking a tour through the Scriptures together in a year.
Plus, you can read my daily devotions from the OYB to see what verse I felt led to focus on that day by following my blog (Click on the link below). This year I will again be using the ESV (English Standard Version) for my daily readings.
So, all aboard for a new beginning! The OYB Bus is pulling out of the station! Let’s go! New Year, new beginning!
PRAYER: Dear Father, a new year begins today. Help us to begin it with You and Your Word. We want to begin this day, and every day this year, by seeking Your face and listening to Your voice. We need a fresh start, Lord. Strengthen us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
