Daily Devotion

“Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat him, by his grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ's sake. ... 5. Resolved, Never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possibly can. 6. Resolved, To live with all my might, while I do live.”

Jonathan Edwards · Resolutions (1722-1723)

Scripture

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come!

Reflection

A new year has begun, a brand new opportunity from God. As Paul said, in Christ we are all new creations. Past failures, pain, and regrets are gone; God wants to do new things in our lives. Let us welcome this new year in faith, believing that God will prepare a good path for us.
