Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.
00:00:07.434 --> 00:00:08.782
I'm Rick.
00:00:08.782 --> 00:00:13.692
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.
00:00:13.692 --> 00:00:19.504
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.
00:00:19.504 --> 00:00:21.109
Let's get started.
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:27.271
Today is Day 2, new Beginnings.
00:00:27.271 --> 00:00:37.908
Today I'll be reading from Psalms, chapter 33, verse 5 from the New Living Translation he loves whatever is just and good.
00:00:37.908 --> 00:00:41.389
The unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
00:00:41.389 --> 00:00:46.429
New beginnings often bring us feelings of hope and happiness.
00:00:46.429 --> 00:00:50.567
We see this joy in newly married couples on their wedding day.
00:00:51.408 --> 00:00:54.283
Moving to a new home is usually an exciting experience.
00:00:54.283 --> 00:01:04.052
There's a special feeling that comes with the start of a new school year, and when the new year begins, we celebrate with parties and cheers and fireworks.
00:01:04.052 --> 00:01:08.212
When the new year begins, we celebrate with parties and cheers and fireworks.
00:01:08.212 --> 00:01:09.939
God created the world to give us that same sense of hope and joy.
00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:15.490
Before sin entered the world, creation reflected God's justice and faithfulness and love.
00:01:15.490 --> 00:01:21.150
The Word of God, which made the heavens and the earth, gave purpose and meaning to everything.
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:26.561
Even now, we can still see glimpses of this beauty and joy in the world around us.
00:01:26.561 --> 00:01:32.493
We're amazed by the smooth sand on a beach or the beauty of a sunset over the water.
00:01:32.493 --> 00:01:36.209
We're fascinated by the frosty patterns on our windows.
00:01:36.209 --> 00:01:45.953
In winter, we admire how fresh snow covers the trees, and when spring comes, we're excited to see the first blade of grass or the blooming flowers.
00:01:45.953 --> 00:01:51.272
But too often, as we rush through life, we miss God's creative work around us.
00:01:51.272 --> 00:01:58.813
What was once new becomes ordinary, and we forget to be thankful or even notice it.
00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:07.528
As you begin this new year, ask God to help you see something new each day that shows His unchanging love in the world around you.
00:02:07.528 --> 00:02:15.584
Father God, the stars and the seas declare your goodness and love by your Holy Spirit.
00:02:15.584 --> 00:02:18.271
Help us to do the same, amen.
00:02:18.271 --> 00:02:26.010
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
