January 1st
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Romans 6:4
We, who are baptized and believe, have this new life. This is a new day. For far too long we have been seeing through sunshades. Dear friends, remove those filters from your eyes. Allow all the light and truth that is Christ Jesus to saturate you from the inside out. It is time, once and for all, to purge yourself of that old man; all those old lies that you have believed.
If we are to walk in the call for which God has created us, we need to believe without any doubt that our God is awesome and can do all things. We need to know that he dwells within each of us, and that he has called us to walk as Jesus walked and to do even greater things.
We believe the Bible or we don’t. God has the victory in all things. Do not be downcast. Repent today from your unbelief and begin to walk in this newness of life, never to look back and never to pick up again those things from which you are finally free.
Walk anew!

About the Book
Starting Blocks was originally written each day as a text message to a downcast friend. It came as an answer to a prayer of what could be done to help this friend.
Each morning in a time of study and meditation, the Lord met with me and gave me Scripture and understanding to share with my friend.
Soon I was sending these messages to more and more friends until I reached one hundred twenty readers. After a year, I had many people urging me to publish a book. So with God’s guidance I began down an unfamiliar road, but he was always by my side lending help when needed and moving me forward.
This devotional book is really from him to you. I was only the instrument he used to get these encouragements out to the body of Christ.
