Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. A very present help...
It's amazing how quickly Christmas comes and goes! A week has gone by and now we'll soon be on to the next thing.😊
We all go through different seasons whether it's determined by the calendar or by life events, but it's good to remember the experiences we go through are only for a season especially when it happens to be a tough one, otherwise we might be tempted to be discouraged or downhearted.
God told us there would be seed time and harvest, that there would be seasons in life which He knows all about in advance which is so reassuring. Nothing is random in God's kingdom or in our lives when we've given our lives to God and nothing will be wasted, whatever has happened this past year, because God has promised to turn it round for our good.
I've found one of the secrets to rising above the tricky times is to remember the joyful ones, the ones where our heart sang with happiness in that moment and to dwell on those thoughts, to remember how far we have come, the progress we have made, and leave the mistakes or heartaches with God.
We can be so encouraged as we look at the close of this year because we know our God was with us in it, every joyful or challenging moment of every day, holding us up, strengthening and helping us and He's promised to do it all again in the coming days of 2023.
He wants us to expect good things, great blessings, goodness and mercy chasing us down, despite what the world is doing, because we belong to His Kingdom and His provision.
We can constantly remind ourselves we belong to Him, part of His family because of Jesus' shed blood and He's put us on the winning side. He wants us to know we can go into 2023 with great confidence in Him and a smile on our faces.😊
He is our ever present help in every circumstance, whatever the world might be doing or whatever our season in life. Thank You Lord.
Jeremiah 17:7 But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.😊
