Happy New Year!

Started word searching "new year" but decided I'd do better looking for "first month" and look what I found! A very cool birthday present! :)

"It was the first day of the first month of Noah's 601st year. The water had dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering from the ark. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry." (Genesis 8:13 NIRV) As I say, a pretty cool birthday present even if they didn't celebrate birthdays. It's always fun to see things in scripture I'd never noticed before.

According to Ex. 12 Passover became associated with the first month of the new year when the Hebrews left Egypt. If you're into word studies, some other interesting things transpired over time during the first month of the Hebrew calendar. It's just interesting, if you think of God starting a new year.

Anyway...all this just to say "Happy New Year." May you keep growing and knowing Emmanuel, God-With-Us, in life changing ways and in ways that you've not known Him before.
