Reflections

Happy New Years! This year may the LORD open your eyes to His great work in your life and in the lives of those around you. Many times, we find ourselves waiting for God to show up when He is always working, in big things and in little things. Every day and every circumstance are opportunities to draw ourselves closer to God – through prayer, worship, and perseverance. Are you or a friend going through a difficult time? Draw close to God. Are you or a friend going through a joyful time? Give Him praise.

God is always at work. He is always calling us and drawing us back to Him. Choose Him and say no to this world. Choose His ways over our ways.

John 5:17 (ESV),

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

1 Corinthians 2:12 (ESV),

¹² Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.

Philippians 2:13 (ESV),

¹³ for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Ephesians 3:14-21 (ESV),

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶ that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
