My friends, I welcome you to a new year - 2010! At the beginning of all things, we have a chance for hope and fresh starts, an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start with no mistakes. As we look into the rearview mirror at our gone-by year with the corner of one eye, we are keenly fixated upon the road ahead.
Why today; Why 01-01-10?
As I look at those 6 digits, it strikes me as oddly binary - that is the language of computers which is either off or on. There is no middle ground, no place to stand in the gap. I can't help but wonder why we do not take the opportunity for a fresh start every day?
Why not today?
... have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? ... And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. (Romans 6:3-4 NLT)
Wow! What a refreshing thing to remember. We have a choice thanks to His death! I've already made mistakes and this new year isn't even 24 hours old for me; I will continue to sin, because that's in my nature. But that's alright as long as I don't give up and choose to turn my back on the choice Jesus made for me - for you.
Choose to live your new year every day, my friends!
