Happy New Year 2024!

I wish you and yours a very happy New Year!

I know the years seem to be increasingly wild and unpredictably distressing in unparalleled ways. There is good news, though: Jesus is the One who sits on the throne, and He said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (Revelation 21:5).

Every day we are one day closer to that reality so we can cry Hallelujah! Until that time, we can lean on Him for He said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

You do not need to worry, Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? (Luke 12:22-26)

Then He reminded us, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) He told us ahead of time, not so we would worry or dread how the next year will be worse than the previous one, but so we would have peace in Him.

Isn’t today the best day to start a whole new year with a whole new life and born-again attitude?
Happy New Year in Christ!
