Genesis 8:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
No one does it alone.
God knew, and Noah was wise enough to know, that if he and his family were to be successful in making a new start, it would take teamwork. They would need each other.
God is a god of 2nd chance. And HE knew Noah could not do it alone, so HE saved his wife and sons and their wives as well. Nobody does it alone. We often forget when we pray to God to help us out of something, and when HE does, because it was not in that moment of prayer, we often believe we did it all by ourselves. Nobody does it alone!
Some of you are going through this right now. But God in His grace has given you a new year. It is a new beginning, a fresh opportunity, a brand-new start. Every person can make a new start! But how do you successfully make a new start?
First, you must acknowledge your need of others. Nobody does it alone!
Second, establish worship as your number one priority. Just as you need others, your need your church and your faith as well. You need to make real, uninterrupted, thoughtful, and prayerful time for GOD.
Genesis 8:20 says...
When Noah made a new start, the first thing he did was build an altar and worship God.
God was # 1!
It did not say that he worshiped God while he unloaded the ark or tended the animals.
We need to do the same thing. Have a time and place where you meet with God daily.
What new start are you birthing today?
What new beginning will you make?
Remember this one thing, you are not alone!
