From milking the cows to following the light of God’s word into 2021; this week’s video shares memories and encouragement for our New Year. Songs included today are God Leads His Dear Children Along and Higher Ground. After all we have been through in 2020 I pray God to help all of us step into 2021 with greater faith and hope for all He has in store in the year ahead.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. Psalm 146:8-9
Maybe in the midst of the Corona Virus crisis we have lost hope as a nation because we have looked in all the wrong places. People joke about binge watching Netflix and YouTube; but when was the last time you heard anyone say, “Let’s binge read the Bible this week”? Or “Last night we binged on prayer till midnight.”? We are waiting on checks in the mail from the government, wishing the cruise ships could sail again and cheering on our favorite sports team. But our empty ships and stadiums; and empty public treasury, have yet to turn us as a nation to God who alone is the only true source of hope.
This is the first Sunday of the New Year and the first week of 2021. Why not turn off Netflix, football and the cooking channel and dedicate it as a kind of first fruits offering to binging on Jesus? He is our best hope and our helper forever!
When Our Lord Leads the Way In the Fall with the frost Flocks of birds Start to form Preparing to fly Before Winter’s storms Though the path of their flight Is unseen and unclear Their heavenly controller Plots their course every year And if those birds know Which direction to stay How much more we When our Lord leads the way When Our Lord Leads the Way by Peter Caligiuri Copyright 2021 All rights reserved
Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane
keep the time of their coming,
but my people know not
the rules of the Lord. Jeremiah 8:7 ESV
