Have you ever stopped to thank God for the simple fact that He designed the universe in a way that we experience both day and night?
For some reason, He designed planet earth in a way that we'd make one full rotation around our axis every 24 hours. And I'm so grateful. Why? Because I have bad days. But I can go to sleep and wake up the next morning and it's a new day! His mercies are new every morning! I think our daily cycle is God's way of saying, "You get to start over every 24 hours."
So thank God for a new day. And thank God for a new year. For some reason, He choose to design our particular galaxy in a way that we'd make one round-trip around the sun every 365 days. And then we get to start over.
We sang the Song of Hope by the Robbie Seay Band on Sunday. It's one of my personal favorites. And I love one line of lyrics: I can start again.
So true. So grateful.

Paul,
Thanks for the comment. And thanks for what you're doing with Christian Men's Network. Such a vital ministry! Love the quote on the site by the way: "Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous!"
So true!
Blessings,
Mark
Thanks, for this reminder, Mark, that we do get to start again each morning. The other piece of it is that we have to leave the past in the past.... forgetting what lies behind we press on.
Mark, Just finished Wild Goose Chase. Am going to read in again because it's that pertinent! I am struggling between a nice 100K plus a year job and doing what I really want to do which is bring the LOST back to God fulltime. BUT I need to pay the bills as well... I tell everyone else "You gotta have faith" I guess I need to take my own advice huh! Happy New Year brother
