Happy New Year 2025 Wishes

My New Year 2025 wish for you would be to get ready for what God has in store for us.

Does it feel to you like the world is changing rapidly?

Remember, God is already there.

And, things that we don’t like are going to happen this year.

It’s a fact of life in a fallen world.

Even so, God allows it all, and He is already there at the end of it.

Will you walk with Him through the challenges, or put Him on the back burner and go through your struggles alone?

God’s plans are perfect.

His timing, His timing, His timing.

Have I mentioned “His timing?”

No matter what you face this year, God loves you.

You and me are His children.

Speaking with the skeptical religious leaders of the day, our Shepherd Savior spoke the following timeless words.

²⁷My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; ²⁸and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. ²⁹My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰I and the Father are one.” – John 10:27-30, (NASB).¹

May they serve as a blessed reminder to us today that we belong to Him forever!

Wishing You A Happy New Year 2024

Happy New Year 2024

Happy New Year 2024!

Where did Christmas go?

It seems like just yesterday we were decorating our home, getting together with dear friends, and baking some yummy holiday treats.

And, most of all, celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Just like that, the Christmas “holiday” came and went.

That could lead to a little bit of a let-down for some, but now we have a whole new year to look forward to.

Are you ready?

Happy New Year 2024

A sweet friend gifted me a beautiful devotional and year planner for my recent birthday. Thumbing through those decorated pages, I see all of the days and months up ahead, just waiting for my entries of what I am planning.

But, who knows what God has in store?

What we do know for sure is that only God knows the future.

This truth should humble us!

But what the Bible says is that God the Creator established you, made you, gave you all your abilities, all your looks, all of your opportunities; has, whether you understand it or not, ordered your life right up until today. But that God who made you, you are alienated from. And you are alienated with no prospect from your end of reestablishing a relationship. There is no way to do it by good works. There is no way to do it by religious fervency. There is no way to do it by looking in on ourselves and trying to find our spirituality in a quest within. But the good news is that although we ourselves cannot do it, the same God from whom we are alienated has come to do it for us. – Christian pastor and author, Alistair Begg, Truth For life.¹

God provided the Way – Jesus.

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. – John 14:6, (NASB).²

For all of our days ahead, I pray that you and your loved ones have a blessed and happy New Year 2024.
