As 2012 begins, some words from Proverbs 24:16 give us reason to celebrate our desire to live a righteous life before God. "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity." We all are capable of "missing the mark" and falling down in our Christian walk. Sometimes our emotions get away from us, and we begin reacting out of our humanness instead of our relationship with our Lord. We have good intentions, but situations can take our focus away from the face of Jesus. This new year, let's commit anew to keeping our eyes on the Lord. He will cause us to rise up and overcome. We will not be overcome by calamity. We will rise again out of our problems.
Lord, thank You for being with us before, during, and after life's temporary problems and situations and for bringing us out of them. You are Lord of ALL. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen. Happy New Year, Church Chicks! May you be blessed beyond your imaginations :)
