Like a butterfly whose DNA still looks like the caterpillar's,
the creature itself has been totally reborn. You are a new creation.

"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature;
the old things passed away;
behold, new things have come."
II Corinthians 5:17

Some People ask god for a single word or phrase as a theme
for the upcoming year. If you ask for one and receive it, pay attention.
He will lean in as you walk it out in faithfulness.

Thus says the Lord, "Stand by the ways and see and ask
for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it;
and you will find rest for your souls."
Jeremiah 6:16

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I went looking for a verse citation or reference of a verse that would match the number of our new year. And I found one that seems very appropriate! Blessings in this New Year!


"In The Passion Translation (TPT) of Proverbs 20:26, the verse reads: "A wise king is able to discern corruption and remove wickedness from his kingdom," highlighting a just ruler's ability to see evil and actively purge it for the good of his people, a principle echoed in other versions like the New Living Translation's "scatters the wicked" and The Message Bible's "makes a clean sweep of rebels".

Nothing is outside of God's jurisdiction.
There's nothing He doesn't see, know, or have His hand in.
Even the hard things. It's all within His reach.

"The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of His heart from generation to generation.
Psalm 33:11

When we balance our willingness with God's strength,
there's no limit to what we can do together.

He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,
for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore,
I will rather boast about my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
II Corinthians 12:9
 
I remember when Johnny Cash, was giving his last interview with Larry King. King asked him if he was mad at God, for how he ended up with the sickness and illness that have plagued him in old age. John said "Oh no, God has given me a full life filled with His blessings!" He then added "My arms are too short, to box with God"!

Another quote from Johnny that I like is:

"How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man".

Trusting God takes leaning in, asking tough questions,
and believing extravagantly.

"Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?"
Lamentations 3:37

As we grow deeper with Jesus, we experience
the life-creating love that sets us free. It's a process.
It can be messy at times. But with Jesus,
we are always becoming more and more like Him.

"I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered
the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish
so that I can gain Christ."
Philippians 3:8

Hope is god's specialty. He invented it. When things looked bleak,
Jesus came along bearing all the possibility of freedom and eternal life.

"May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy spirit."
Romans 15:13

Your Father watches over you with more love
than you could ever imagine, and more tenderness
than your heart could ever hold.

"He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you
will not slumber....The Lord will guard your going out
and your coming in from this time forth and forever."
Psalm 12:3, 8

Batteries eventually give up, but we have an unending source
of power and strength from God! His power has a built-in recharge.
All we need to do is stay plugged in and connected to Him.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God,
the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not
become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable."
Isaiah 40:28

No matter how circumstances may seem, good or bad -
our God has the reins, because He reigns.

"Who has announced this from of old?
Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the Lord?
And there is no other God besides Me,
a righteous God and a Savior, there is none except Me."
Isaiah 45:21
