Welcome to 2024: A Year of Change, Concern, and Hope.
/Potential for Change and Concern:
Economic stress
The expansion of world-wide wars
A Presidential election
Individual and family health needs
The grief of facing holidays, birth dates and other special occasions with loved ones missing.
HOPE: God is still…
… your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
… the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
… the One Whose love for you will never end. (Jeremiah 31:3)
… faithful – He Who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)
… caring – you can cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (I Peter 5:7)
… able to accomplish all that concerns you. (Psalm 137:8)
… doing the impossible. (Matthew 19:26)
As you travel deeper and deeper into, and then throughout, this next year, take a deep breath every time change or concern threaten to discourage you; and remember this: HOPE in God is greater than any change or concern 2024 may bring your way.
I pray that you have a blessed year, by His grace and in His strength.
