Happy New Year
We stand on the threshold of a new year looking inward for strength and forward for hope, in the midst of our quivering apprehension and excitement.
We fear the future when we can’t see clearly the path that is set before us. Still without knowing what this new year will bring, we can rest in the knowledge and assurance of God promises.
He will never leave us or forsake us. His promises are real. His word is true.
We have nothing to worry about. We have nothing to fear because God is in control.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day. Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalm 91 verses 5 to 7.
My belief stands firm because he is my hope.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I am not shaken.
When the darkness of my thoughts threatens to consume me, he is always there to lead me to the light.
My belief stands firm because He is my hope, my shield, and my reward.
I fear not because I am always in his remembrance.
