I committed to write daily in January. Unfortunately, I failed to remember that creativity and inspiration are not defined by a calendar or clock. I made several attempts, but wasn't really happy with anything I came up with.
Not wanting to give up on this exercise in discipline, I turned to a tried and true exercise: Make a list.
Here is the result: 15 nuggets of Bible-based wisdom that have served me well. Some are quoted. Some are not. I challenge you to read them for yourself and make them your own.
1. Make God your first priority. The rest will come. Matthew 6:33
2. Forgiveness and a new start are as close as asking. 1 John 1:9
3. God's love never ends, and every day is an opportunity for a fresh start. Lamentations 3:22
4. God requires just 3 things. Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with Him. Micah 6:8
