It’s a new year and it can be a new “beginning” too. Because the God that “created the heavens and the earth” is the same God today as He was yesterday. He can make us a new creation in Christ. He is the Creator God. He stands outside of time, space and matter. He is wholly Other. But He is also the God that took on human flesh and died for us. He is both transcendent and immanent. He can change your life. He is the Author, not only of this Book, but of our salvation.
Welcome aboard another journey on the Bible Bus. All aboard for a new beginning! (This year I am following the NLT – New Living Translation)

The first verse of the Bible sets the tone and the foundation for a truly biblical worldview. “In the beginning God,” not me first, not some other thing, but God first. God is Creator and everything else that exists is His creation. Understand this. Meditate on it. That God is God and you are not. That He is in control and you are not. On this first day of 2013, let us recognize God’s first place in all things. First day, first things, first place… Lord, I give you my life afresh for a new year. What do you want to do? You go first. I’ll follow.

And since that first day, the sun always comes up and a new day begins. A new page to write on and a New Year to bring glory to our Creator begins today. What will you do with 2012? Will the busyness of life overtake or will you focus on the important?

I’m glad God gives us new beginnings. In Christ, we can wad up last year and start with a new page, a clean, blank sheet to write on. Will join myself and others in the WCC One Year Bible Readers commitment for 2010? What a great way to “begin” a new year… with God and His Word.
Just FB me if you want to commit. We’ve got a special group on FB that you can join. You’ll see my regular posts there, along with other member’s. It’s a good daily discipline to add to your reading:
1. Ask God to speak to you.
2. Read the OYB selection while listening for His Voice.
3. Quote the verse He underlines for you on a post to the WCC OYB site
4. Make a short comment about it.
You’ll be surprised at how God will speak when you ask!
