NEW BEGINNINGS
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.” – Ezekiel 36:26-28

Embrace New Beginnings like Joseph
As a boy Joseph was thrown into a pit and sold by his brothers into slavery. While a slave he was promoted to work in the home of a palace official. Then thrown back into prison after being accused of sexual assault by that official’s wife. In prison he becomes a leader and uses his gift of interpreting dreams to help others, leading him to find favor with Pharoah. Pharoah then promoted Joseph to be second in command, just under Pharoah himself, throughout all of Egypt.

Although Joseph found himself in unfavorable circumstances time and again, he trusted God and his faith was rewarded. Is this a lesson we remember when we find ourselves in unfavorable circumstances? What about when we are given the chance to witness to another who has found themselves in unfavorable circumstances? As Joseph did, we must learn from these trials, pick ourselves up and begin anew.

As Springtime is upon us and all of creation will be bursting forth with new and beautiful beginnings, let us remember that ‘New Beginnings’ are not just for Springtime and the earth. But also offered to us, at any given moment. So, let’s remember to embrace new beginnings and to encourage others to as well. To refrain from judgement against those choosing a new beginning. But instead to pray for and encourage them as they seek to know and follow Christ.
