Hi Folks,
I hope everyone has had a super week! I have two neat devotionals below!
I've heard many Believers say that when the New Year comes, they pray, look through Scripture and find a specific word to give them encouragement, hope, strength, and spiritual growth for the New Year.
The word could be "compassion" to remind them to be more compassionate in their dealings with folks, "hope" to remind them to have hope in the Lord in their toughest times, "purpose" to remind them that God has a purpose and plan for their lives.
I've heard tell of folks that will look through Scripture or look in their Bible concordance under a specific topic for a verse that is meaningful to them, that will give them a specific reminder that the Lord is near, that they are valuable to Him, verses to give them strength to live a godly life....This is called a 'life verse.'
Through December, I knew that I needed a new life verse-something that reflected where I was in my walk with the Lord and that would give me hope for the New Year. Through various incidents, the Lord impressed on my heart that He was giving me a fresh start in the New Year, and had a purpose and plan for my life, He wasn't done with me yet. And so I chose Jeremiah 29:11, a verse I had read all through my life, but I was seeing with new eyes...God had a purpose and plan for ME! "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Below is your chance this week to find a meaningful word and Bible verse to start your New Year that the Lord can use in your life as you walk with Him.
I pray this is a blessing to your week!! God Bless!
