"Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."
Isaiah 42:9 (NKJV)
People like things that are new. When someone buys a car they talk about the "new car smell" that their vehicle has. Even if someone has just bought a car that is not actually new, if it is new to them that new car can bring a sense of excitement that comes with something new, it gives a sense of a new beginning, a fresh start. The same thing is true when someone moves into a new house or apartment and even when a new phone, computer, or some other electronic device is purchased. There is something special that people generally feel when a new thing comes into their life.
Today is January 1 and it is a day that brings a sense of hope for a fresh start to people. Even though today is just another day on the calendar and it is really no different than February 1 or March 1, January 1 can still have a different feel to it for many people. Some people look back at the previous year with some regrets about things they did not do or things that they may have done and wished that they hadn't. The idea that we can have a new start or even a second chance for something is what often motivates people when a new year begins.
In Isaiah 42:9 it talks about things that have come to pass and a new thing being declared. Everything that happened last year is in the past and we can't change that. But, we can leave our past behind and God can give us a new start this year. We all have goals and dreams and no matter which of them did or did not come to pass last year we can have an expectation for a new and better year ahead. Begin this year with anticipation for a new start in a new year. Expect that this year will be your best year ever and that God will help you to declare a new beginning!
