Happy New Year! – Exodus 12:1-2

1 God said to Moses and Aaron while still in Egypt, 2 "This month is to be the first month of the year for you."
– Exodus 12:1-2



Happy New Year!
When God does a new thing in your life He does it in a landmark way!  He knows the old year you were having and all the struggles that you had to go through, so when it's time – His time – He gives you a glimpse of the future so you can have hope.  Then He puts on His hat, blows His horn, and shouts Happy New Year!  God is so good!

The hard part for us is that when we get our first glimpse that things are about to change, it's usually when we are knee deep in "Egyptians" holding us back, tying us down, and/or ripping us a new one.  Oh yeah, it's just when we think we can't take it anymore that God shows up, in the middle of our desert, and says "guess What?  This month is to be the first month of the year for you!"

So fi you are facing a big ugly "Egyptian" and he's making you manufacture bricks with no straw, keep your eye on the lookout; check your rear-view mirror; listen for that still-small-Voice, because God's getting ready to pay you a visit.  He's going to walk right in while you are still in the middle of whatever muck you're in, and He's going to calmly say in that great-big-Booming Voice of His, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Prayer
Father, thank You for visiting us during the hard times of our lives.  Thank You for seeing, and for the plan that You have to create a new year for us, a new beginning; a new way to show the world how awesome You are.  Thank You Father, for loving us so much!

Have a blessed day everyone!

– Richard
