When I think about the word foundation, the words from the hymn “How Firm a Foundation” surface clear and distinct. The words of the hymn speak to the issues we’ve faced for the past two years and give hope for making this year count for good. It is possible to lay a new foundation for blessings and hope by permitting the love of Christ Jesus to dominate your life.
What are you willing to change in the way you live your life that will honor God so you can experience his blessings and his peace? Since we are people, we fall short of being who we could be, but by God’s mercy and kindness we can go forward to fulfill his purpose for us.
This new year will be different as you come clean with God by repenting of every sin that’s preventing you from experiencing his peace. Refuse to live in the shadows of what’s hidden deep in your soul by permitting the light of Christ Jesus to purify you of all unrighteousness. He will do it. Happy New Year.

The solid foundation that
God has laid cannot be shaken; and on it are written these words: “The Lord knows
those who are his” and “Those who say that they belong to the Lord must turn away
from wrongdoing.”
~2 Timothy 2:19 Good
News Bible
My prayer is that light
will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you
when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be
yours together with all of God’s people.
