Happy New Year!
By: Robert A. Searles
Soon,
in three more days, we will br launching out into another new year
and new beginning in our lives. We do not know what lies ahead nor what
this new year may have in store for us, but he who knows all things
and holds the future does, and we need to begin by seeking his counsel.
Anyone who is planning to go on a journey is very wise if he or she
makes preparation in advance. If he or she is going to be traveling by
automobile, one is smart if he has his engine tuned up and the oil
changed, and the fuel tank full. A prudent person will know where he
is going, and how he is going to get there. He will have acquired road
maps, and will have studied them diligently.
So it is with our
journey through life, every new day we strike out on a new adventure,
not knowing what a day will bring forth. The sad thing with some of us
is that when it comes to our daily trip through the activities and
duties of each new day, we have failed to make adequate preparations.
We who know the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior, need not venture out
blindly into a wicked hostile world without being fortified and
strengthened for our journey. We have an open door to God our Father,
who, if we ask anything in the name of his son, will deny us nothing
that is good for us. Before we begin our day, we can rise up a great
while before day and find a solitary place and get alone with God and
pray, even as Jesus himself was known to do.
“And in the morning,
rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a
solitary place , and there prayed.” Mark 1:35
If this was
necessary for the very divine son of God to do, how much more is it
necessary for us to start our day? How can we know the direction we
should travel if we do not seek the guidance of one who knows?
“Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do I
trust, cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my
soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord from mine enemies, I flee unto thee
to hide me, teach me to do thy will, fo thou art my God, thy spirit is
good. Lead me into the land of uprightness.” Psalm 143: 8-10
