*Happy New Year and New You*

It's New Year's Eve

and

we ARE a new creation in Christ. 

The old has gone, the new has come! 2 Conrinthians 5:1.  

What better point to dwell on than this for the New Year! 

No matter what we have going on in our lives, God is more than able,

through Christ in us. 

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full,"

 John 10:10. 

So........

* Happy New Year and New You*

The Joy of Now

 

Living 100% in THIS moment gives God full opportunity to prepare us for the next.  Living ahead of this moment, interferes with God's working in us and distracts us from the joy of NOW.

 

Have a blessed NOW :D

Light's Opportunity

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

Galatians 6:9

There are days that are harder than others.  Sometimes we lose heart and energy.  But, as we continue to press on, doing what we do for the Lord, not ourselves, He will rejuvenate us.  Life is short here on earth, so every single moment of every day is an opportunity to let God reign in us, so that others might see Him - especially when times are tough.  What better opportunity and time to let God show His peace and trust to a world who needs Him?  It's those tough times that are special, because that is when God's light can stand out in a crowd of darkness!  

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men....

Galatians. 6:10

"YOU are a light to the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5: 14,16

Have a blessed day everyone :)

Search Me, Oh God

I know most of us have read the following verse many times:

".....if My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

2 Chronicles 7:14

It doesn't matter who is named as leader of a country, it matters what the country's people are doing.  God promises to heal the land of those who come to Him and honor Him.  Throughout the Old Testament, God reordered entire nations in a moment when people would honestly repent and come before Him. 

It all starts with each one of us:

"Search me, O God, and know My heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Psalm 139:23,24

God relates to each and every one of us individually, therefore, as we come before Him, honestly seeking Him, for His sake, we will be filled with His power and joy that HE may accomplish His will on earth through us.

God bless us, everyone.
