Start the New Year Right with The Lord

For many New Year is a time to renew or reevaluate one’s life: from fixing broken promises to fulfilling unmet resolutions. We start to set targets and goals in life. We get busy trying to fix things to work properly, making more friends and so on. It’s not wrong to make plans for the future, but it’s too much if we try to do it by ourselves, worse still if we try to do it with our own strength.

Yet New Year is more than just time to rebuild our own personal life. It’s also the time to rebuilt and renew our relationship and commitments with the Lord. Often times we try too hard worrying about the future, what we should eat and wear. He said indeed in Matthew 6 that we should not worry about tomorrow for He’s the one who feeds the sparrows and paints the flowers in the fields. Aren’t we more precious than those sparrows and the flowers? Therefore stop worrying and trying to fix things that are beyond your control / ability. Remember that we can never make things right because we’re still human and full of imperfections. But if we’re in Christ, all of our imperfections are little compared to His love for us.

Always remember His love for us and this will equip you with affirmation and assurance that He is a faithful and loving God. Start our New Year right with the Lord and He will do the right things for us.
