You may have come a long way, but eternity which is longer, is still way ahead.

So, this year is the time to be  effective in displaying the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), as you look forward to eternal life with Christ Jesus. 

As you begin this journey into this new season, be rest assured and know that,

“All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 KJV. 

Therefore,  grow in the love of God, and work at your calling. 

So that, you will fulfill God’s purpose for your life effortlessly, with the cooperation of everything in creation.

Refuse to be distracted by the rumors, political gymnastics, religious bigotry,  and socio-economic drama.  

Because,  if you observe those lying vanities, you will forsake your own mercy. (See Jonah 2:8), and share in the iniquities of others.(1 Timothy 5:22)

Instead, focus on the AWESOMENESS  of God who forms light, creates darkness,  makes peace, creates evil, and never lies. 

If He said it, He will do it.

He is God alone,  and He created this vast universe, all by Himself. (See Isaiah 45:7, Numbers 23:19, Nehemiah 9:6)

I encourage you this year to commence a journey of knowing God more, and start a daily Bible Exercise to help build up your Spiritual muscles. 

Set a goal to go through Genesis to Revelation within six (6) months. You need to push yourself and leave your comfort zone.

I pray that from this year on, you will experience God’s awesomeness in new ways, and become that person that people will see, and their eyes will have respect for God, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Have an excellent great year displaying the AWESOMENESS of GOD. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior,  January 1st, 2025.
