Newness

The new year has come and newness in American is very apparent. Some of the societal ills that have plagued this country has been confronted with hope, and a new vision for change. However, this new vision for change does not come without trials. As a christian one has to understand that there will always be trials or storms if you will. But our eyes are not to be fixed on those storms, but on Jesus. As I grow in my relationship with Christ I am perplexed at the storms that I find in my life, but I am also amazed at the provision he provides and the ways of escape.

Its a new year for new mercies with a new understanding of God. The Word says, "that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." May I learn to have a reverent fear for God that would drive our complacency this year. I pray that I grow exponentially. I will trust in him, and his Word so that whatever comes my way I'll be safe within Him.
