1-1-11 A New Year, A New Start

Even though I already posted once today, I want to actually start with a real post, to work toward my goal. I pray that I am able to continue the trend!

My reading today took me to Genesis 12, I know I've read these verses many times before and today I wanted to share the first few verses.

1 Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee:2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing;3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.4 So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. - Genesis 12:1-4

I want to be willing to do whatever God tells me to do, I am thankful that He hasn't told me to leave my home & family. However I pray that if He did I would be willing to go, just to pick up and go like Abram did. Because along with that command/instruction, there were promises, promise of blessing and protection!

Another verse that I came across today, I want to be a new creation, and for the old to be gone! Lord help me to accept the new!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
