Happy New Year! My, how the years fly by. It's hard to believe that this year I will turn 70, God willing, and be eligible for the Senior discount at every Chinese restaurant. Yes, the years are flying by, but I want my first 2015 blog to be simple, straight-forward and non-technical.
As with every new year, and in reality, every new day, we face uncertainty. There is no way to predict what lies before us. The plans we make are always subject to change. While we do need to plan and set a course, there are no guarantees that any of them will come to fruition. God has a plan which takes into account His desire for us and for His creation and His Kingdom. When we align with Him, things move forward smoothly, but when we "buck the system" we may find the road a bit more challenging and bumpier.
Karen and I finished our reading through The Bible on December 31st and then went back to Genesis 1 and "In the beginning God........" on January 1. The certainty is that the words will be the same, God will speak to us through His Word and if we listen to it, hear what He intends for us to hear, and obey Him and His call, we will be blessed beyond anything we could plan or imagine. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the keys to life abundant, May the new year, and each new day, be full of God's grace and peace for each one who trusts in Him and may more people come to know that grace and peace through our efforts. It seems like a simple, non-technical formula for 2015. Lord, help us all to rejoice in Your plan for us.
