Alpha And Omega

Alpha and Omega

What should I stop doing and what should I start doing so I can begin the year well and end it well?

God’s Response

Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you. 1 John 2:15

I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. Ephesians 1:19

Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. Lamentations 3:23

Stop looking back with regret, stop thinking you can’t overcome a bad habit or addiction, stop thinking God doesn’t care, stop blaming yourself or others, stop doing what you know you shouldn’t, stop doing too much, stop doing too little. Start each day with God in prayer and Bible reading, start showing more grace and forgiveness, start a new good habit, start obeying God’s Word, start repairing hurt relationships, start trusting God to show up in your life everyday. This is a good time to commit to stopping and starting, and to remember that God is the one constant that will never change—he loves you and will always be at your side.

God’s Promise

The LORD will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11
