As you enter this new year, ask God to help you instead to observe something new each day about his unfailing love in creation.Ĭreator God, the stars and the seas declare your goodness and love. What's new soon becomes old, and we feel no reason to offer praise or even take notice. Too often, though, in our hurry through life we miss the creative majesty of God at work. And when spring comes, we are delighted with the first blade of grass or the first blooming flower.
We admire the fresh snow blanketing trees in our yard or neighborhood. We wonder at the complex patterns of frost etched on our window panes in winter. We marvel at the smooth sand on our favorite beach. God's word, by which the heavens and the earth were created, gave structure and meaning to all created things.Īt times, we still catch glimpses of this beauty and joy in creation. Before sin entered the world, creation radiated God's justice, faithfulness, and love. God designed creation to give us a similar sense of hope and joy. And we celebrate the new year with parties, cheers, and even fireworks.
There's a certain energy that accompanies the start of a new school year. Choosing a new place to live is often an exciting adventure. Newly married couples radiate happiness on their wedding day. New beginnings often give us a sense of hope and joy.
