A New Year

“Our hope is not in the new year…

but in the One

who makes all things new.”

“If you’d like to have a New Year’s resolution,

resolve to be pleasing to the Lord.”

~ John MacArthur

Tomorrow is the first blank page

of a 365 page book. 

Write a good one.

~ Brad Paisley

A NEW YEAR IS NOT

A NEW BEGINNING.

LIFE ISN’T MADE

OF FINITE CHAPTERS.

-------------------------------------

WHAT JANUARY BRINGS

IS PERSPECTIVE,

WHICH IN TURN ALLOWS

US TO CELEBRATE

SUCCESSES, BUILD ON

HARD-LEARNED LESSONS,

OWN OUR SHAME AND

FAILURES AND ENTER MORE

FULLY INTO THE REDEMPTION

CHRIST OFFERS.

~ Michele Phoenix

“May I never forget on my

best day that I still

need God as desperately

as I did on my worst.”

Jeremy Binns

Always pray to have

eyes that see the best in people,

a heart that forgives the worst,

a mind that forgets the bad,

and a soul that never loses faith in God.

“The secret is Christ in

me, not me in a different

set of circumstances.”

~ Elisabeth Elliot

DON’T FORGET

THAT MAYBE

YOU ARE THE

LIGHTHOUSE IN

SOMEONE’S STORM

“Let Them See You”

Jason Weeks, Scotty Wilbanks

With every breath I breathe I sing a simple melody

But I pray they’ll hear more than a song in me

Let them see You in me let them hear You when I speak

Let them feel You when I sing

Let them see You, let them see You in me

As we begin a “New Year”, may our desire and prayer be that through our thoughts, words, actions, and reactions people will see Jesus in us.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

Create in me a pure heart, O God,

     and renew a steadfast spirit with me.

Do not cast me from your presence

     or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation

     and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Psalm 51:10-12

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. He old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

Above all else, guard your heart,

     For everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:23

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

     And what does the LORD require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

     and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2
