Today’s Verse for Friday, January 1, 1999

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has
come!

–2 Corinthians 5:17

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…

We all like “do-overs” or second chances. God does much better than that! He
allows us to become new again. Being the “God of new things” he can even make us
new. Beyond forgiveness, beyond cleansing, he makes us holy through Jesus. Let’s
use the opportunity of a New Year as a springboard to living a life fresh and new
and alive to God!

MY PRAYER…

O LORD, thank you for a New Year and a fresh start. Please give me wisdom and
strength to serve you with integrity and faithfulness in this coming year. I pray
that your work be done in my life as I offer myself, my plans, and my future to
you. I pray this through Jesus, my intercessor and Lord. Amen.
