| So What's New? |
It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I tried a few times and just couldn't gather my thoughts enough to write something. But it's time to get back to it.
The new year has begun. Most people have a little bit of new stuff received as Christmas gifts; a few new hopes and maybe some goals for the year; and some have carried a few new pounds into the new year!
I love the idea of newness in Scripture. King David thought it important to have a lot of new songs to sing to the Lord. (Ps. 33:3, 40:3, 96:1, 98:1, 144:9, 149:1) I guess it was the musician in him. What other new things could we offer the Lord as often as a song?
The Lord Jesus was all about new. New commandment. (Jn. 13:34) New covenant. (1Cor. 11:25) New life. (Rom. 6:4) New names. (Rev. 2:17, 3:12) I love that! It seems humorous to me now that when I was young I thought Christianity was so old and stale. How wonderful to be so wrong! Thank you, Lord, for making life new every day.
Since we're on the subject of new things, my good friend Cheryl has started a blog called The Lord is my Light. Drop in and say hi to her. |

Welcome Back! You're right, Joye. The new year is a new opportunity for renewed strength, brand new mercies. The new buds on trees and flowers will soon emerge!
