NZ Christmas Tree - Pohutukawa
Today is not only a whole new day, but it's a whole new year! Are you filled with anticipation for what you have planned this year? Are you filled with anxiety, wondering what it will hold for you, your family, or for others close to you? Perhaps you filled with awe at what you have survived this year. You probably know people in all three of these categories. I do!
I just took a moment to check out what I wrote around this time last year and it still stands true. I could write it all again but you can just go read it here! http://daydrops4you.blogspot.com/2023/
This past year we have proved again, that by God's grace we can be comforted in great losses, mourn with those who mourn, rejoice with others in their successes, new life directions and opportunities, and to sit with those who wait to meet their Maker. God surely is our very help in every situation.
Life is filled with opportunities to draw on God's strength in challenges, to experience his comfort in losses, to rest in his love when we feel a bit lost, and to hope in his Word when we don't understand what is happening in our life or in our world. Knowing that I can bring all my uncertainties to his feet and leave them there brings me such peace. I don't have to stress, but just trust that God will fulfil his purposes for me and those I love. I leave you with these words from Psalm 134:6-8.....
May God bless you with peace as you believe and trust in him in 2025.
PRAYER: Lord your word is true, you are faithful, you will work out your purposes for those who love you and walk through life in step with you. Keep us faithful to you this year. Amen
