With the New Year now underway, many people have made New Year’s Resolutions. Each has desired a fresh start in various areas of life. Many make a new resolution to get in shape after over indulging from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. Some have made a commitment to better manage their finances after over spending at Christmas. Yet others may go to a much deeper level and decide it is time for a fresh start with God.
Is there even such a thing as a fresh start with God? If so, how does one pursue it? The good news is that a fresh start is possible. Paul the apostle shared with everyone who would listen that “they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance” (Acts 26:20b).
A fresh start with God is possible when you actively choose to turn from your sinful ways and begin walking obediently to God’s ways. At the time of genuine repentance, God gives you his Holy Spirit to empower you (Acts 5:32, Phil. 2:13).
Thus, he will take you from start to finish! May today be your fresh start!
