How To Begin

At the start of a new year, anything seems possible. So we make our plans, knowing we have 365 days to make it happen.

But in our determination to make something happen, we can easily veer off course. Especially if our motivation comes from a sense of scarcity, a need for validation or a fear of not being enough.

None of those are the right ingredients to give birth to something life-giving.

We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.(Proverbs 16:9 NLT)

So what’s the best way to begin? The first four words of Genesis hold the answer. “In the beginning, God…”

That’s it. Begin with God. Start with him…every day. Ask God what he has for your heart and your art. Both in this moment and in this new year. Then begin there…with him.
