The end of one year and the dawning of a new one provides an excellent opportunity to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start. Remembering God's faithfulness and forgetting our past mistakes will make entering the new year a time of anticipation.
New Year's Day as well as any new day can be the first day of the rest of our life.
Most people are apprehensive about resolutions, but if you really want to have a healthy, happy and probably prosperous new year it might be wise to adopt a resolution to be grateful to God for the opportunity to start over and the many blessings we receive through Grace & Mercy.
Our Daily Bread says to reflect on these words:
Be Silent and listen to the voice of God (Ps. 46:10).
Pause from a hectic schedule to be refreshed in spirit (ps.42:1-2)
Accentuate the joy of God’s provision through thanksgiving (Ps. 65:9-13).
Exalt the name of God for answered prayer in spite of disappointment (Ps. 40:1-3)
End the day by reflecting on the Lord’s faithfulness (Ps. 119:148)
My New Year’s Resolution :
This year my resolution
Is to draw closer to Thee.
I will follow if you guide me
Is my fervent plea.
I’ll pray & read your word
To others I’ll portray
The love that set me free and
The price you had to pay.
You have showered me with blessings
You watch over me night and day.
So Lord, accept my gratitude
In adoration, I humbly pray.
