It is the time of year when the crystal ball drops and the calendar changes. This is definitely a season when we stop and reflect and consider what the new year will bring. JJ Heller's song "This Year (Happy New Year)" is a terrific song to help us leap into the new year while we internalize a cry from Hosea and a dramatic ending of a season in David's life in 2 Samuel 12.

We can learn from David as he journeys through a difficult season.

In this episode, I discuss:

• My cry to all of us for the new year - Hosea 6:1, 3
  • Renew
  • Know
  • Strive
• My commitment to my third Bible Read Through...join me by signing up at KeithFerrin.com!
• The Bible Interaction Tool for reading unfamiliar translations...I like The Voice Translation this year!
• Seasons that you don't know have ended until they're gone
• Seasons you can see coming to an end
• A preview of some of the seasons in David's life - 2 Samuel
• A tragic season in David's life and how he walked it out - 2 Samuel 12:15-23
• David's fanatical plea to God calls for His grace, mercy, and intervention
• The difference between living WITH regret and living IN regret
• Seeing what is on the other side of this tragic season - 2 Samuel 12:24-25

Otherwise, pick up your Bible and start reading 2 Samuel! Start in Chapter 1 and head all the way through Chapter 12, where we are today. Consider how David ended this tragic season and what God might ask of you.
