Ready for some refreshment?
The beginning of a new year is a great time to be refreshed. It is a great time to evaluate our work, our family life, our friendships, our dreams and goals and last, but certainly not least: our walk with God! Throughout the Bible we can see how God promised refreshment from time to time to the people of Israel. They needed it just like we need it. The Lord urged them to no longer dwell on past mistakes and failures. He taught them an important but simple lesson: don't look back, look ahead! We can read that in Isaiah 43:18-19
Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already-you can see it now!

I don't know if you made any New Year's resolutions, but I do know how to approach the New year: don't look back at past mistakes or failures, look ahead with anticipation, the Lord desires to do something new in your life! Whether you need a refining fire, a fresh wind or streams of living water, expect it!
