Verse-Revelations 21:5
Behold, I make all things new.
Thoughts-
The prospects of the New Year, are just beginning. We can embrace what lies ahead, with an assurance and joy, that God, who never changes, is always with us. In the past, we have experienced sorrow, yet experienced the comfort of His hand. There has been strife, and turmoil. Yet He has given us peace, in the midst of it. We have witnessed His provision, and love in every aspect of our lives. Ahead of us, there will be new sorrows, new joys, and new challenges. Yet with each one also an opportunity to reaffirm our faith, and trust in our God, who will guide us victoriously, through another year. Today holds an opportunity, for us to evaluate our hearts and motives, before God, allowing Him to change us; giving us new insight and understanding, as He prepares us for greater things. It’s past time, for us to break out of the old, and receive the new. We have to desire more than what we have grown used to year after year. We cannot possibly grow spiritually, without being willing to accept the changes, which God desires to create in each of us. He remains the same, as He changes us into His image.
