The first day of a new year.

What will we do with it? It will never get any easier than today to take action. Never.

Do you want to learn more from God’s Word this year? Take the first step – read a chapter of the Bible today.

Do you want to pray more this year? Take the first step – go to a quiet room and get alone with God now.

Do you want to reach someone for Christ? Take the first step – get out of your office and go find someone to talk to.

Do you want to spend more time with family? Take the first step – log off the computer and have a conversation.

Do you want to take better care of the only body God gave you to serve Him with? Take the first step – literally! Take a walk or a run.

Do you want to read more? Take the first step – begin on chapter one now.

Whatever you desire to do…do something about it! On this first day, take the first step.

The journey is made one step at a time. Take the first today.

Within the text, John opens and closes his thoughts with the idea of "believeth." Sandwiched between are details concerning being "born of God"; conversion, compassion, conduct, and conquest. These details give clarity to three aspects of the Christian life: faith, love, and obedience. When present, they testify to the validity that one has been "born of God."

The word for wilderness is “meedbar,” (מדבר). This word is spelled exactly the same in the Hebrew text as “he speaks, or I speak.” He speaks/I speak is written the same (מדבר) but pronounced differently “meh-dah-ber.” Ancient readers of the Hebrew Bible saw these words and linked them in their minds. Therefore, the wilderness must be the place where He speaks to you. The spectacular cliffs of Sede Boger in the south of Israel near Beersheba. It has been identified by some scholars with the Wilderness of Zin, which is mentioned in several places in Numbers and Deuteronomy. It is a popular destination for modern hikers and climbers.

    very simple, yet very good advice. there is a phrase that says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing you have always done and expecting different results. if you truly want to change, then you have to create the change. good stuff brother.
