Genesis 1:1
I sit here this morning. It is 6:17 a.m. and the thought comes to me, What does 2008 hold? I was at a gathering yesterday where a lady whom I did know spoke up after the prayer and said that “the number 8 is the number of new beginnings.” What does this mean? What does this mean for me personally? The first thing that comes to my mind is that Lamentations says that the mercies of God are new EVERYday. Thank you Lord. But what does it mean to have a new beginning? Does it mean that old things are passed away and behold all things are become new?Or do we remember the old and learn from them this new year? 2007 held a lot of shifting around for me. Will 2008 prove what will stay shifted? Or is it totally spiritual? What does God want to “start over” in me? What have I messed up and the need to start over is so clear? These are things I am thinking of today.
Purge out the old that needs to go and start anything new in me you would like to ,Lord. I trust You and I am open to Your plans.
