As we step into a new year filled with aspirations and resolutions, join us on "Wisdom for the Day" as we journey back to the very beginning—Genesis 1:1. Discover the profound impact of the Creator's intention and beauty, even amidst the chaos and brokenness that life can present.

As excitement wanes and challenges arise, let's keep our eyes open to the magnificence around us, trusting in God's power to restore order and beauty. We'll remind ourselves that despite life's imperfections, God remains in control, bringing goodness out of chaos. Together, let's embrace each day as a gift, and rest in His care and love.

00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:02.323
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day.

00:00:02.323 --> 00:00:08.073
A few minutes with God's Word to start your morning or end your evening with purpose and guidance.

00:00:08.073 --> 00:00:10.888
Let's see what Jesus has to say today.

00:00:10.888 --> 00:00:16.501
Today is Day 1.

00:00:16.501 --> 00:00:33.478
We'll be reading from the book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1, from the New Living Translation In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.

00:00:33.478 --> 00:00:40.365
Now, today marks the beginning of a new year, a time filled with hopes and dreams and resolutions for living differently.

00:00:40.365 --> 00:00:43.420
As we turn the page on the calendar Now.

00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.354
Once everything in the world was new Out of nothing, god created the page on the calendar Now.

00:00:45.354 --> 00:00:49.890
Once everything in the world was new Out of nothing, god created the heavens and the earth.

00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:53.048
The Bible describes his creation process.

00:00:53.048 --> 00:00:56.348
God spoke and the world came into being.

00:00:56.348 --> 00:01:01.151
Everything he made was good, full of diversity and beauty.

00:01:01.151 --> 00:01:04.310
It reflected the richness of God's character.

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:10.828
A lot of times, though, we don't always see the goodness and the brilliance of God's creation.

00:01:10.828 --> 00:01:17.004
Sin and brokenness cloud our vision and bring decay to what was once brand new.

00:01:17.004 --> 00:01:22.034
Our excitement and delight in God's work often fade.

00:01:22.034 --> 00:01:26.671
That's why we need to be reminded of the Creator's character.

00:01:26.671 --> 00:01:31.408
Genesis shows us that God brings order and goodness out of chaos.

00:01:31.408 --> 00:01:35.703
It reminds us that he is in control of the world.

00:01:37.365 --> 00:01:49.849
As we move throughout the coming year, there's going to be moments when the excitement of our January resolutions fade, when the brokenness in our lives makes it hard to embrace each day as a gift.

00:01:49.849 --> 00:02:05.114
In those times, let's remember that God made all things good and let's trust that he has the power to make all things new and good again.

00:02:05.114 --> 00:02:08.701
Thank you, lord, for your good creation.

00:02:08.701 --> 00:02:14.383
Open our eyes to see the brilliance and the beauty of everything you've made and to rest in the knowledge of your care for the world you created.

00:02:14.383 --> 00:02:18.853
In Jesus' precious name, we pray Amen.

00:02:18.853 --> 00:02:26.132
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.

00:03:00.271 --> 00:03:01.963
Until tomorrow.

00:03:01.963 --> 00:03:03.187
