Thank God, It's 2021
After what the year 2020 turned out to be, most of us are glad to see it come to an end. This is one New Year that I’m sure all of us are celebrating with the hopeful expectation that 2021 will go much better than 2020.
This past year has brought us more challenges and problems and sorrows than we have most likely ever had to deal with in any previous year. We have been made aware that there are many things in our lives that are outside of our control. Our trust and confidence in God have been tested.
Have you grown closer to God as you have turned to Him for help this past year? Often we are not aware of how much we need God until we are forced to depend on Him. And when we turn to God, we find that He never lets us down.
Ps. 92:1-2 says, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD … to declare your lovingkindness in the morning and your faithfulness by night.” Every morning the Psalmist anticipated God's unfailing love to him that day. And every night, he reflected on God's faithfulness to him that day.
As we look back at 2020, let’s thank God for His faithfulness to us. And as we look forward to 2021, let’s thank God for His unfailing love to us.
