Early this morning we arrived back in South Carolina to a new year, a new semester and, for me, a new roommate. As we stumbled into the house, tired from some relatively eventful flights and a foggy drive home, we saw how everything was clean and packed up after the Christmas craziness. There was a new verse on the kitchen black board that I thought an appropriate selection for the new year:
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor. 5:17
We are constantly being made new: Christ is always renewing our spirits and providing us freedom to live each day with His power and the joy of His love, but it is especially good to remember that promise on the start of a new year.
Update: in case anyone was keeping track of my last year's resolution to read the Bible in one year this is what happened: it turned out that I switched it 'round about September to reading the OT in one year. This I accomplished as of about 11:45pm December 31st. The new resolution is to read the NT in Spring semester and we'll go from there.
