AS WE FACE THIS NEW YEAR

Scripture: Philippians 3:13, 14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

     There are so many uncertainties in life. We know about the past, but nothing concrete about the future. The only hope we have is in Jesus and in His precious Word. All our hopes come from the Word of God. We are certain about some things that relate to our spiritual life, but friend, you can be certain today about this one thing, God will take care of you! Though we may not understand the way He is leading, still He is in control. All we must do is, by faith, let Him direct our lives and just trust Him!
     As the New Year approaches we can be sure of this truth, that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Not one time during the course of this New Year that coming will you have to say, “Well I’m on my own now”! Jesus will always be with us as we travel through the untraveled paths and sail through the uncharted waters of this New Year! He will be there to guide us, to give us direction when we can’t seem to find the way. He will be there to strengthen us and help us to fight on and never to give up!
     Just to know that we can, as the text said, “forget those things which are behind”, gives us the courage to march on. There’s no place nor time along the path, no matter how hard it may be, to quit! He tells us to “reach forth unto those things before us”. We must set ourselves some goals and then strive to reach those goals.
     Why not set yourselves some goals to reach for His glory this year? Why not determine that by the help and the grace of God, you’re going to try to achieve those goals? God will take care of you! He just wants you to trust Him, believe in Him and live for Him! Will you determine to do that?
