Everything has a starting point. There is no finish line without a starting line, no graduation without the first day of school. Everything starts somewhere, and perhaps you can remember the starting point of your problem. You remember a specific day or event when everything started going wrong.

For you, it may have been the day you received that bad news from the doctor, the day you realized your family fell apart, or maybe the day you lost your job. In any case, ever since that day, it has been one problem after another.

You turn to friends and family members for help, but they can do nothing for you. They are facing their own problems. Today can be a new starting point for you when everything changes.

“It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” (Isaiah 10:27)

Today is that day. God wants to take this burden off your shoulders. No matter what it is or how long it has been there. It’s just a matter of decision.

The moment you decide to start putting your problems in God’s hands, He takes care of them. What friends and family cannot do for you, He can. You can have a fresh start today, you just have to take the first step.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
