C ONTENTS There is something about the word new that has always been appealing to me. Whether it was the opportunity to start a new diet or try a new face cream or read a book by a new author, the word itself seems full of hope. This hope can quickly turn to disappointment however when the promise offered falls far short of our expectations. I received a free sample in the mail of a cream that was supposed to turn back the clock and make me look fifteen years younger, but after using it for the suggested two-week period I could see absolutely no difference whatsoever. Perhaps I needed a new mirror or new eyes! This world makes many promises and delivers very few. Im sure you could add to my list with your own experiences that have been disappointing.
That will never be true though with God our Father. One of the reasons that I am very excited that you decided to pick up this study is that whatever your hopes and expectations are of what God might have in store for you, you will not be disappointed. Scripture tells us that, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV ).
But what if your disappointment is with yourself? You may have a track record of trying over and over to change behavior patterns or remain true to new ones, but what greets you in the mirror is not disappointment with a new product but with yourself. I wonder if there is anything more prevalent among Christian women than guilt? We expect so much of ourselves. We want to be the best daughters or moms or friends that we can be and set standards that are hard to maintain. When you add in the desire to live a life that would always be pleasing and honoring to God, that is quite a load to carry. Jesus was very tuned in to our tendency to over-burden ourselves and it was his passionate mission to teach us how to live a new way.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:2830
I love the invitation to learn how to live freely and lightly! That truly is a magnificent promise. As you move through this study may God give you new hope, clear vision and a trusting heart. He doesnt expect us to get it all right, but rather live in the truth that he has finished the work for us and thrown open the doors to a grand new day.
Sheila Walsh
Theres a story told of a young a man who grew up in a loving home. On occasion, his family would go out for a meal at a restaurant. As the family finished enjoying their meals, the young mans father would lean over and gently remind him, Dont order the apple pie!
Now the father never said this to discourage his son from ordering dessert, but rather to protect him from disappointment. The father had learned over the years that not even the finest of restaurants could ever compete with his wifes apple pie. The father wanted his son to know that the best apple pie always came from the same sourcehis mothers kitchen.
In the same way, the best possible things in life always come from the same source: God. He is the ultimate source of our hope, peace, and joy. He promises us not just life, but abundant life. And there are no substitutions that can compete or compare. Like the father in the story, our Heavenly Father gently reminds us, Dont settle for less than My best!
What does that mean in our daily lives? It means that whats happened in the past is not what defines us. No matter what weve done or left undoneno matter what mistakes, errors, or blundersnothing is beyond Gods redemption!
No matter where we are in our spiritual journeys, God invites us to something more. No matter what age or stage of life youre insingle or married, working or retired, raising children or left with an empty nestGod has a grand new day planned for you. He has something original and one-of-a-kind picked out just for you! He wants to use you and the special gifts He has given you to encourage others, to make the world a better place, and to help others encounter God.
And the best part is that you dont have to wait until tomorrow to begin experiencing the grand new day God has for you. It can begin today. As you connect with God through prayer and this study, you just might be surprised to discover that the plans He has for you begin right now, on this very day. Best of all, theres no telling what adventure God may set you onin your relationships, your home, and your faith journey.
My hope and prayer is that through this study youll discover the grand new day God has for youone filled with redemption, restoration, and hope. And that youll find yourself refusing to settle for any substitutions, waiting on God for all He wants to do in and through you for years to come!
Blessings,
Margaret Feinberg
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the L ORD , plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you hope and a future.
