NEW BEGINNINGS<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
It’s a new year and it can be a new “beginning” for us too. For the God that “created the heavens and the earth” is the same God today as He was yesterday. Just as He created all things in the beginning, so He can make us a new creation in Christ and give us a new beginning in 2021.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a new year, so why not join us each day as we read through the Bible together? We call it the “OYB Bus” (“One Year Bible”). There are many apps for reading through the Bible, but the one we use can be found at:\u00a0<\/span>oneyearbibleonline.com<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Plus, you can read my daily devotions to see what verse I felt led to focus on that day by following my blog (Click on the link below). This year I will be using the HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible) for my daily readings. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So, all aboard for a new beginning! The OYB Bus is pulling out of the station! Let’s go! New Year, new start!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PRAYER: Dear Father, a new year begins today. Help us to begin it with You and Your Word. We want to begin this day, and every day this year, by seeking Your face and listening to Your voice. We need a fresh start, Lord. Strengthen us. In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
