Time for a new beginning

A new year has begun. A friend of mine called on yesterday and explained that he was tired of the way his life has gone in the past year. He told me how he was tired of the repetition of the past. That he no longer wants to be caught up in court and going to jail. He said that in 2010 he did not want to start out the same way. I explained to him that things do not have to be the same way. Things may look the same but things CAN change. When our life has taken a turn for the worst all we must do for a change is to put our trust in God. First of all we must believe that he is real and that he is a rewarder to those who diligently seek him. If we seek after God continuously and believe in his power to make things better for us, he will do a new thing in our lives. The bible says that once we are born again, we are a new creature and behold all things are made new. When we have the faith the size of a mustard seed, God can (move mountains) change things, move hindrances, turn our situations around.

My friend was also concerned about the fact that he did not have a job and that he wanted his on business, this is when I explained to him that the bible says seek you first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and everything else will be added or given unto you. We must put our minds, our affections, our trust, our hopes all on the Lord. Our focus must be on God,we must seek him continually or diligently as the other bible quotation says God is a rewarder to those who diligently seek him. When we seek after God first rather than after riches, companions, jobs, and the like when it is your season or God's time He will give those things to you. We must allow God to give us these things because if we seek for them first, we might end up with something that is no good for us.

It is time for a new beginning if your life has been going around in circles, if you have been in the same place all last year, if you are weighed down with weights, if you are ready to give up, if you believe that life has let you down, if want to know why you have gone through the things that you have been through. If we do not ask God to come into our hearts, minds and our lives, how can he help us? God gives us a choice, we must choose him, we must choose to serve him, we must delight ourselves in God. God can and he will give you a new beginning all we must do is ask for it.
