Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.[nkjv]
As we approach the new year, it means a lot of different things to different people. To some it has already brought grief and sadness because of death, sickness, or trouble. But, on the bright side, to some it has opened the door of happiness in marriage, family, jobs, and new beginnings. As we look ahead into another year, we need to prepare, as best we can, for journey ahead.
We must prepare for the unknown. Our walk as Christians is a walk of faith. We have no way of knowing what each day will bring. As individuals, we could have a year filled with peace, prosperity,, and happiness. On the other hand it could bring us total loss of health, of property, of friends, and loved ones. The Lord has told us what to do about the unknown future. In Hebrews 10:38, It says,"We are to live in faith, trust in Jesus, and believe that he is able to keep us.
As we enter the new year we must be prepared for the unexpected. Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad. We may face unexpected sickness, trouble, or disappointments. Do we have to wait and look with horror and fear? No, we are to walk close to God as he will lead us step by step through his blessed Holy Word and Holy Spirit. [Romans 8:28] And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. This will prepare our mind and emotions to receive, at God's hand, whatever may come.
Let us prepare to take care of the things that are undone.
As we look back on the past year. I am sure there is much left undone, especially in our praying, Bible study, witnessing, and worshiping. Most that was left undone can never be recaptured . It is lost and gone forever. Lets look at that which is still undone and lay our hearts and hands to the task of getting it done.
Let us help make the coming year better for everyone. Then we can say with Paul," I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." [2 Timothy 4:7]
