Begin with God

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 (NIV)

Begin this year with the God who brought life from the void of the earth and he will bring life from the blank calendar in your days ahead. The new year may leave you apprehensive, but whatever may befall your world, know that you will not be alone. The Creator of time, years, and days will not leave you. The same Lord who walked with Adam through the unexplored land of Eden will walk with you through the uncharted days ahead.

Faith in God is sometimes easier to hold onto as we travel through the unknown, rather than the known. We would likely be fearful of the year ahead if we knew the details of each of its days, but instead we have been given opportunity to begin with God.

Let’s pray today that we will not give way to fear for the days ahead, but that we would walk in faith, one day at a time.
