Good Tuesday morning! Someone mentioned "wind" as a force involved in our weather for the next several days. That doesn't sound like something to look forward to. Ah well, praise the Lord for our houses and homes. Today, I looked through the list of the most powerful people in the world, at least those ranked according to Newsweek magazine. I was not surprised that our president-elect is listed as number one, and I am not surprised that Jesus is not listed. The world does like to ignore our Lord and the widespread effect he has on our hearts. Of course the excuse would be that the list is limited to those that are alive in the world today. Yup, my point exactly... Jesus is very much alive in the world today, whether any can physically see him or not. "Blessed are those who have not seen, and still believed."
What will each of us think about for the New Year's resolutions? Lose weight, spend less, eat better, save more money, be kinder to animals, love your spouse more... many of these are made each year. What if we resolve to be holy this coming year? What would the world think if each of us resolved to be more like our Lord Jesus this coming year? Becoming holy is a tough task, the devil will fight it and the lust of the flesh will fight it. However, we have one great and all-powerful ally in that fight, the Lord Jesus himself! Sounds like something to ponder over the next couple of days.
New Year's Eve is coming up once more. Do you have parties to go to; friends and loved ones to celebrate with, or perhaps just a quiet evening at home to celebrate? Whatever you feel called to do is probably the way to go. I love to recall that even in the so-called non-religious holidays that Jesus will direct our footsteps to where He would like us to be on that day or evening. Trust in our Lord in all things!
Have a joyous New Year in Christ Jesus!
