"Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them."
We are beginning a brand-new journey together this year. Yes, there will be many bumps and bruises along the way. We will run into situations that we will not be expecting. Our nerves will be set on set high, along with our anxiety. Our pocketbooks may be held a little tighter. However, these are all the negative aspects that overshadow what a new year can dawn for us.
A new year is exciting, hopeful and energizing. We get to start all over. This is not to say that we won't be facing challenges, because we will. But, if we look at each situation that arises and put God first and trust in God fully, how can we not find something positive about it?
Each year, we get to create a new song for the Lord. Some of it will tell of a time of lamenting and others will show times of absolute joy. What is every more astounding, is we will each have a specific song that God knows us by. Our songs are like our fingerprints 'for God, not one of us has the same song. Let us together sing our praises to the Lord for the He is waiting in our wings to help us conquer our enemies.
Dear Lord, We are going to lament and suffer this year because it is part of life. But Lord, help us to realize that you are always there for us. Help us to see that this year we can start anew. Help us to remember that you are always there for us in our times of joy and especially in our times of struggle. Amen
