There is a really encouraging and challenging book out there called "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat." Wow, what a truth!
We’re in this F-word (Faith) series of messages on Saturdays and Sundays. Have you ever wished you could just start your life over or get a fresh start? Maybe just go back and do it again? Do you feel like for the first time in life you are growing spiritually, and it feels good? You are starting each day with a daily devotional and memorizing God’s Word. Maybe you joined a life group, Bible study, or other small group, and you sense that God is strengthening your faith. Have you ever said to yourself, "I wish I would have done these things sooner"? You wasted so many years doing other things and neglecting a growing dynamic relationship with God. But then something clicked. The light went on and now you see that a lot of problems, pain, and worry could have been avoided if you’d done what you are doing now. I am with you in wishing that I could rewind the tape and start my life over.
The problem is you can’t rewind the tape. It’s behind you. But you can step out and start over. God is a God of fresh starts. That’s what I want to encourage you to discover this week. Psalm 145:14 says, “God gives a fresh start to those who are ready to quit.” If you’ve ever felt like quitting, it's a good thing you are reading this blog. I want to challenge you to discover in God’s Word, the Bible, His truths and principles of making a fresh start and having the courage to step out and exercise your faith and trust in God. Make it a priority to hide the truths of God's Word deep in your heart. It will help you regardless of your background and regardless of your past. Regardless of how you’ve really messed up, you CAN make a fresh start and take a new step. Yay God!!!!
