One thing about the New Year that I love is getting a brand new calendar. In fact, it has become a tradition for my husband to get me a calendar as a Christmas present every year. I love the idea how the days are like blank slates... the year is fresh and new, just waiting for the days to be filled in. Joy! Everyone gets a fresh start to start over again in their lives, leaving their past mistakes, bloopers & not so great days of their lives behind them.
This devotional caught my eye today about slowing down & enjoying the journey. Now, that is a great concept. I heard someone say that the the days are long, but the years are short. So very true-- 2006 just whizzed past us & all of a sudden, my not so little anymore baby is 5 now & my oldest and middle sons will be turning 20 and 18 this year!!!!! I intend to slow down & enjoy the journey that the Lord has placed before me in 2007....
How about you? Happy New Year!
Slow Down and Enjoy the Journey
Today's Scripture
"This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)
Everyone wants to live joyful and victorious lives. That's what God wants for you, too, and He knows the best way to get you there. But He also wants you to enjoy the trip! Here are two things to remember today that will help you slow down and enjoy this day God has given you. First, God is in control! He is directing your steps according to His plan. Second, God has your best interest in mind at all times. That means His plan for you is good, one that is designed to help you be the person He created you to be. So relax and enjoy the journey! Let God take you where He wants you to be in His timing, not yours. Remember, God is never late!
A Prayer for Today
God, thank You that You have my best in mind. Give me patience as I wait upon Your timing and make the journey one step at a time. In Jesus' name. Amen.
