New Beginnings


New beginnings, no matter what life brings: Joshua 1:1-5

  God encourages us to be strong and of good courage,  we must stop and think, has God given me something to do? Do I have fear or dismay thinking about this task?

  Don't get stuck in life passageways.   Who knows the road to our life best?  God!  He is the one who has our life all mapped out for us. We just have to remember not to get stuck in the ruts of life, and in our failures.  It is possible to get stuck between our yesterdays and the fantasy of tomorrow.  We keep thinking about our past, our failures, things that hurt, things that just didn't go right in life.    If God has brought us to it, He will get us through it, He brings us to that point to help teach us and grow us. He dries up our tears and heals our hearts, He will lead us out of our troubles.  His word keeps us moving on.

  How often have we thought which way?  Where do I go from here?  Just remember, God has already been where we are going.  He knows everything about our tomorrow, so we must not have a fear of what lies ahead.  Many times our fear of tomorrow can cripple us, just as much as we let our past cripple us.  God already knows the outcome of our tomorrow so why not trust the master?

  God has a blueprint for life, so love Him, trust Him, and go forward.  As we make decisions in life, make sure that God is a part of them, pray about it, keep in the word daily, walk faithfully with Him.  God does have a plan for each one of our lives.

God guarantees the victory, my past is dead, and He is in my tomorrow already.  Trust and obey!  Put trust in everyday things and believe what the Lord has to say.  We can be a light in this world, everywhere someone is watching us.  They want to see that our faith is real.  Does my faith falter when times get tough? Or do I put my trust in the Lord.
