New beginnings...what does it remind you of? A fresh start? New opportunity? Change? God gave me a revelation (vision) today about new beginnings. He offers them to us but what is it?
The definition of new on google was: not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered; and fresh: original and of a kind not seen before. and beginning defined as the event consisting of the start of something. Simply put, God is offering us a fresh start. I don't know about you but I've made plenty of mistakes so a fresh start sounds great.
Here's the revelation: in order to have the fresh start you have to leave behind everything that you are currently doing and who you currently are in order to move forward and be who God designed you to be. As I mentioned yesterday His mercies are new every morning (Lamenations 3:23) and remembers our sins no more so why should we hold onto the former things? Isaiah 43:25
"Behold, the former things have come to pass,Now I declare new things;Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you." Isaiah 42:9
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. "Behold, I will do something new,Now it will spring forth;Will you not be aware of it?I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19-Amazing, God tells us to forget the former, don't dwell on your past mistakes...they will you back from the plans I have for you. What an amazing God we serve!
Revelation 21:5 says, And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new " And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." He starts the Bible by creating everything "new" when nothing existed. In Revelation (yet to come), we have a promise of the "new" yet to come. Amazing! Only God can continue to make things new.
I've said it before...leave your past in the past and take the journey of a fresh start that God offers! Many you be showered with His abundant living today.
