Often the last day of the year, we reflect on the past 12 months.  We think about the good and the bad.  Some have regrets and fears over things that have happened. This year’s end I want to ask a question: Do you know anyone who is true to their word?  The truth is a dying courtesy.  Very few people today are true to their word.

God is always true to his word; if he says it is going to rain, get your umbrella.  If He says He is going to come again for His people, He will.  Learning to depend upon His word is part of our walk as Christians.  I think this was easier in ways for generations gone by because most men were true to their word, unlike today, when few people are honest and walk with integrity.

I try to take a few minutes to reflect on the lessons I have learned over the past year. I try to think about where I fell short of doing what God asked of me. I spend some time praying that the year ahead will bring me to a deeper walk in Christ. I don’t make resolutions like most people because I have found that they are normally broken by February. This is why I chose to reflect. This year, I included a flip through my prayer/ bible study journal to help me reflect.

As you reflect on this year’s end, remember what God has brought you through.  Remember how much he loves you.  Look to the new year with hope that no matter what happens in this life, God is true to his word.  He will save, heal and deliver his people. 2024 is a year to expect great things from God. Remember that it doesn’t matter how scary things look, we walk by faith. There is nothing we face that God cannot see us through.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
