And then I look at this calendar; something I made months ago. Each month of the year I pasted a verse from the book of Psalm and January's verse is most significant:
Psalm 3:3-5
"But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me."
It is a new year. It is time to walk in full faith; knowing that God, the maker of all life, is listening when we pray. It is time to stand like grown men and women, ready to walk fully in the will of God; not continue to crawl, like infants wanting always the easy way. Life is hard. It was never promised not to be; yet with God leading us, with walking in his will, how can anyone go wrong?
James 1:5-7
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."
It is time to stop being tossed by turbulent seas. It is time to stop wavering in faith. It is time to look, listen, and believe that God is all he says he is, and that we (being saved through acceptance of Jesus Christ) are God's children. A father takes care of his children. How much more so does God, our Father, take care of us?
