“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.” (Psalm 32:8 NKJV)
It is a sign of God’s immeasurable grace that no person ever reaches a stage in life where he cannot start afresh. Every day that dawns is a new beginning. Our God is the God of the second chance.
Past failures might seem to have trapped you in a rut, which has caused hope and expectations to have died. Do not allow whatever may have happened in the past to cause you to lose sight of what the future may hold.
If you would like to make a fresh start it is your choice. God offers it to you freely. All new life comes from God alone. Forget the past, acknowledge God as the source of all life and you will experience the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Now face this new year with confidence. God is with you!
God Bless, Pastor Rick
