As we begin a new year I am reminded of a verse I read in Genesis 51:10. "God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life." (MSG)
Genesis is the first book of the Bible and it begins with an account of how God created the world and everything in it by speaking it into existence. God spoke you into existence in your mother's womb. Even now He can speak into the chaos of your life to bring order and sense to it.
God creates something from nothing and He makes something good out of bad for His children. He can take a heart that is broken and impure and create in its place a heart that is whole, pure, and purposeful. God loves you and wants to pour His grace into your life. He wants you to be pure and for you to succeed--so much so that He takes an active role in creating a new heart in you and bringing order to the chaos of your life.
Your job is to submit to His sovereignty, (His right to rule over you because He created you,) humble yourself before Him, and ask for His help everyday.
I hope you have lots of Genesis moments in 2008.

I love this. I am gonna need lots of Genesis moments this year since I am queen of chaos sometimes. Of course, we all need do overs sometimes. Thank God He is the God of do overs! Plus, with Him, the mistakes are as far as the east from the west. Blog is great!
