It’s January 3, and by now you may have already blown all your new year’s resolutions to smithereens. You might not have even gotten around to making any.

You may not be able to go back and restart the year, but January 4 can be the Day 1 of the reboot of your life. It can be that blank slate of your do-over.

I love how Lamentations says that God’s mercies are new and fresh every morning. They haven’t run out, as one translation puts it. His mercy, love, and faithfulness are a never-ending stream of supply to those in need.

Every moment you’re alive and breathing is always a second chance. As long as you’re still breathing, it’s not too late.

So let January 4 be day 1 of your new year. Or you can start now.
