Each New Year presents us with a chance for reflection: To look back on where we’ve been and look forward to where we want to go. No matter what our current situation, the New Year represents hope and possibilities. My greatest desire for the coming year is that my life comes into closer alignment with God and what He desires in and through me. Today, I am reminded of my life verse (Micah 6:8) and as a start, I hope it can increasingly become a reality within me.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
My prayer is that in 2009, God will present us with amazing opportunities and we will be excellent stewards of them all. Have a wonderfully blessed New Year!
My life verse also — and I have a book coming out that is a celebration of Micah 6:8 next month. I would be glad to send you a free advance reader copies (a few typos remain, which get scrubbed out in the ‘real’ book) if you care to send me a postal address.
