“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” ~ Revelation 21:5
Every year on Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, the sins of the nation were rolled forward another year, and everything was made new. This is our New Year, a chance for a new start, new opportunities, and new or renewed dreams. Let’s put the bad things, the hurtful things, and the things that caused us to lose heart or to lose sight of our dreams behind us and look forward to our new opportunities.
Father, thank you for new opportunities and for second chances. Make this a year for Your people to succeed and for dreams to come true. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
