John 12:43
“For they loved the praise of men more than
the praise of God.”
As we leave the old year and enter the new,
pay attention to where the praise of the world is focused. We see those of the
world focus on praising this one and that one for their accomplishments in the
past year. No thought to the God of Heaven. But we expect that from them. Don't
we? After all they are not God's children.
But also notice many of those who wear the
name of Christ. There are those who we believe to be the children of God. Yet
they follow after the example of the world and not after the example of their
Savior. They will celebrate with the darkness of the world and not with the
light of Christ.
So at this time of remembering the past year
remember Who it was that gave you that year. Remember the One who brought you
through that year. And remember to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for it
all.
As for the year to come, waste not your time
and energy on silly resolutions but instead strive to live your life according
to the Word of God.
John 12:46
“I am come a light into the world, that
whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”
If you are a child of God flee the darkness
and concentrate on the Light.
If you have not been saved and the Holy
Spirit is calling you “believe on the name of Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
