9 Bible Verses for the New Year

By Michael Harrell

In the classic children’s book Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery asks a question full of wonder: “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” As we start this new year, we have a full 365 days ahead of us without a single mistake…yet. And it helps start the New Year off right by remembering that Jesus gives us all a new day, wiping away the old. Start your year off right with these encouraging verses for the new year!

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven… – Ecclesiastes 3:1

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope… – 1 Peter 1:3

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11
