Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning God created…”
Welcome to the OYB daily devotionals. This is a perfect way to start the year and I’m hoping you will be with me on the “40 Days to Freedom” journey every day between now and February 9. The goal is to provide you with a thought from the reading each day that will encourage and inspire you. The ultimate goal is to develop a habit of daily bible reading that will impact your discipleship journey as a believer in Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 8:31 – “…If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.” So LET’S GET STARTED!
The very first five words of the Bible are powerful. The beginning of anything requires the most effort and creativity. To start something from nothing takes boldness and determination. You have begun a most important journey today by investing time in reading God’s word. I want to encourage you to be bold in this journey and bold in your praying. What do you hope for this year? What are your goals and dreams? If you haven’t taken time to articulate them I want to encourage you to sit down and put into writing what you want to see happen this year. This is an exercise my wife and I have done together for years and when our children were younger we would sit down as a family and each of us would express our hopes for the New Year. Remember, in the beginning God created…God can create anything in your life. Ask in faith believing and I believe this year you will see miracles take place in your life!
