VERSES:
Isaiah 1: 18 - "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
AND
2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

THOUGHT:
It's better than starting over! As Christians, we get a fresh and new start.
God not only forgave us, pardoned us, ransomed us, and saved us, he also
made us a new creation! And every time we come to him, every day we rededicate
ourselves to serve him, and every new year we offer to him, we get a new start and
a whole new world. So as we begin this new year, let's begin by offering ourselves
to him, asking him to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and take leadership of our lives

PRAYER:
"Almighty and Holy God, I want to glorify you and bring you praise in the choices that I make,
the people that I influence, the words that I speak, and the actions that I take in this coming year.
I know that I am not guaranteed a single new day, but I want each that I live to be a day I have
lived for Your glory and honor and praise! In Jesus name I pray. Amen."
