We began with a vision of God and concluded with a vision of the eternal future for all those who follow him. In between the vision of God and the vision for the future, we have witnessed this truth: “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will” (Prov. 21:1). God is sovereign over all. He controls all things, and every action he takes has purpose and direction. As it is with kings and countries, so it is with our lives.

Fresh starts come with each sunrise. They are not carried over from the day before. Remember the manna process in the Old Testament. The Israelites could only collect a day’s worth; the next day, they went back for more. That’s how it is with fresh starts. And our “manna” is God’s Word.
