The new year brings with it a certain sense of anticipation for what is to come. We have a blank slate mentality. Chalk boards do still exist…in my mind!
We’ve all heard the phrase “I am nothing without God”. Living as if He is with me is something else! This passage makes me see that in a new way:
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (The Message)
11-12Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, pray that he’ll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely.
Pray for and expect extraordinary things this year.
God will give freely– I could use something for free!
