It’s time to look ahead and make plans for the coming year. We are all standing at a crossroads looking at the unknown, asking the question, “What should we be doing?” God’s Word tells us: “Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing. To declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” Psalm 92:13-15 (NKJ) The phrase “they shall be fresh” means they shall have original qualities about them. The word “flourish” means to prosper and be successful. There is purpose to our lives when we are planted in the Lord. He prospers us in all we are and do. This is not for our benefit only, but to tell the world what kind of a God we serve. As we approach the new year, let us purpose in our hearts to tell the world who our Father is, going forth declaring that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. When we put God first, the rest of our lives will take meaning. In Christ Jesus, John and Janette Martin |
