THE CLOCK IS TICKING

 2013 is here.  The clock is ticking and the future is unfolding before us.  There is no reason to face the new year with anything less that the reality that Jesus is Lord.  As He has been He will be.  Our lives and times are in His care.          

Entering the new year confident of God’s amazing grace is a grace in and of itself.  Now is a good time to look upward to God, knowing that He is here and at work in wonderful ways in the world.

In the Bible we learn that God “works all things after the counsel of His will” (Eph. 1:11).  In Romans 12:2 we learn that God’s will is “good and acceptable and perfect.”  God’s will can’t be improved on.  Therefore, everyday we ought to pray the prayer Jesus taught us, “Thy will be done” (Matt. 6:10).  If God is working all things after the counsel of His will and His will is good and acceptable and perfect, then let’s open up our hearts to all the possibilities of God.            

In Jesus we can’t go wrong.  If we make a mistake, God will be there to lead and guide and direct. Face each day with a confidence born of God.  He is for His people.  He will never leave them or forsake them.  Come what may, good or bad, Jesus is Lord.  Our lives are in His hands.           

When you don’t know how to pray just pray, “Thy will be done.”  You can’t go wrong there.
