Happy New Year lovely ladies!!! This is a great time of year for me because it reminds me of what the Bible says about God’s mercies, “They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lam 3:22) I pray that you all enjoyed Christmas as well as New Year’s and celebrated with those closest to you. I am excited about the New Year. I have no idea what victories will be won be this year, or what challenges I will come across, but I must say that that makes life more exciting. Not to mention, I’ll have the Lord on my side along the way.
More than ever before, I look at December 31, (New Year’s Eve) as a possible graduation day. It may sound weird, but it’s like from Jan 1 to Dec 31, we’re in this “school of life” with God being our teacher. If you’re still standing December 31, you’ve made it another year. As for the upcoming year, well that’s the year that you can take everything that you learned from the previous and exhibit what the Lord has instilled in you.
In this New Year let’s take the lessons that God taught us in 2011 and show others how much we’ve grown in 2012. Don’t go to the next grade (the next phase of your life) as if we’ve been taught nothing. Our lives should show that we have been given the power to overcome hardships; our faces should glow because of the God in our lives and His provisions for our families. Our words should express the new found wisdom that we gained. We should do this so our Christian walk can show, a lost and spiritually dead world, signs of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and the spiritual growth that comes from it.
At some point we have to make a choice to grow continuously in our lives. 2012 sounds like a great time to start taking the lessons of the past and grow for God in the present! “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (I Cor 13:11). Until we make that choice we are choosing to be stagnant in 2013, 2014, 2020 and so on. God allows a new day, and a new year to grow and get closer to Him. We shall not take His love or new mercies for granted ever. Will you graduate this year, or will you remain stagnant?
