Celebrate The New Year!

Lisa Buffaloe: Regardless of the good, bad, or ugly in 2015, we can

celebrate a new year.

We can celebrate what God has done.

We can celebrate the salvation we receive from Jesus Christ.

We can celebrate and gratefully remember God’s grace and mercy.

Celebrate God’s forgiveness and loving-kindness.

Celebrate that God continues to work with you and for you–for your best

and for eternal purposes.

Celebrate that even in the hard times, the illness, the loss, the

unwelcome change, God is with you and won’t ever leave you.

Celebrate – because celebration reminds and

warms the heart.

Celebration rekindles the fires and passion.

Take time to celebrate that your time is eternal in Christ.

Celebrate God.

Celebrate who He is.

Celebrate that you are His!

Celebrate, because you are loved

by God!"

Today’s Bible verse: Is. 51:9 a "Awake, awake, put on strength, O
arm of the LORD."

Today’s quote: "Satan's tendency is always to push us toward one extreme or the other; deadness or fanaticism." (p.152 of Jim Cymbala's Fresh Wind, Fresh
Fire)

Some thoughts today: Be saturated with the Word of God,
and you'll find it marks you with the presence of God!

~ It's time for us to get a fresh picture of what God wants to do, not just to
tell Him what needs to be done.

~ In the heart of the believer are eternal interests. If you don't have them,
ask God to help you become a believer in His Son's atonement of salvation,
which He accomplished on the cross of Calvary. (Check out the following

A popular post: Rescued! C.P. Hia
relates how that "Manuel Gonzalez was the first
rescue worker to reach the 33 miners trapped for
69 days in a Chilean mine explosion in 2010.
At great risk to his own life..."

Father, with the new year of 2016 already started, I ask for Your wisdom to be mine.

I celebrate and gratefully remember Your grace
and mercy, and may I celebrate Your forgiveness and loving-kindness toward me, personally.

I'm thankful for all You've done and plan to do. As I look ahead, may I see Your glory all
around me.

I ask for renewed daily grace to honor and obey Your Holy Spirit, Jesus.

It's in Your Name I pray. Amen.
