A New Year

A new year is on our doorstep. With it comes many considerations. One of the most common acts to consider, what will be your resolution, or will you even make one? We have knowledge from the previous verses that the Spirit helps our weakness and that it groans for us too deep for words. That He who searches the heart will know the mind of the Spirit because He intercedes for us according to the will of God. We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, called according to His purpose.

So what do we say to these things at the start of a new year knowing God is deeply for us? As you prepare for your New Year’s Eve celebration, will you set a place for Yahweh? Will you greet your friends and family with a holy kiss? Will you go to be alone with God, have him search your heart so that your decisions for the year will be the mind of the spirit? Will you invite Jesus into your life and accept him as your Lord and Savior? For how can one make plans without the one who made the world?

Even still, if you fear the coming year and what it may or may not bring for you - know that there is nothing, not one thing that can separate you from the love of God. No things present, no things to come can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. With those words so greatly given we can face a new year knowing, no matter what, the greatest love, God’s love, is given to us forever!

Happy New Year Bridge Family!
