A Do-Over!

Fall is in full swing! Something about the first big frost of the year gets me excited. I love the change in cold weather. I love a good fireplace. I love a good movie on a cold day! You get to wear new clothes, watch the weather more often, drink hot chocolate, and enjoy a bonfire...so much that you don't do in the summer. More than anything, the beginning of cold weather feels like a fresh start to me. Almost like a "do-over."
I love the idea of a "do-over." You remember when you were a kid and something would go wrong in a game the game would be disrupted? Everyone would stop and yell, "DOOOOO-OVERRRRR!" Then the game would carry on…no one would argue, the participants would continue like nothing ever happened.
Are you in need of a "do-over?" God is always interested in a "do-over." As a matter of fact, that is just his business.
Let's pretend for a moment that you were the one who kicked the ball on the house, or out of bounds when you were a kid. Did you protest the “do-over?” Did you deny it? Were you able to receive it? Of course, you embraced it. I wonder why it is so hard for us to embrace the idea of God giving us a "do-over?"
I want to challenge you to take some time to look through the bible today and study all the "do-over's" that God gave his people. It will amaze you.
I hope you enjoy your fresh start...and if you are in need of a "do-over," I pray you will embrace it!
