'The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged' ~Deuteronomy 31 v 8.
I can hardly believe that as I post this blog, we are into a new year and already half way through the month of January. It feels surreal. Just last week, as I walked through the supermarket, I saw Easter eggs on the shelves!
Time just flies... it is eerily scary.
As I ponder what may lie before me in the year ahead, I am thankful that I do not know, for it would overwhelm me considerably... Our good Lord knows this. He asks that we take one day at a time, and not look too far ahead, but focus on Him and seek His strength, in the good times and the bad.
For Christ says to us in the book of 2 Corinthians 12 v 9:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
