Tomorrow begin a new year. For some of us, we are excited anticipating new adventures and fun-filled experiences. Others are fearful. I must admit I am filled with a bit of trepidation, especially with Jim’s back issues and pending surgery. I try to take one day at a time. But when I focus my attention on God’s promises, I become more hopeful and strength fills my spirit and I can (most days) wake with joy.
This is the truth of Scripture. Our God is an awesome God who will never leave you nor forsake you and gives power to the weak. I am including some of my favorite scriptures to meditate upon and it is my prayer that you will draw strength and hope for the new year as you meditate upon the Truth of God’s Word and promises.
I wish you joy! Happy New Year!
