Words of Hope for the New Year!
I came across a wonderful New Year's Commitment from Thelma Wells, a coauthor in the Women of Faith Daily Devotional. Her "Instructions for a New Year" are the January 3rd devotional. I wanted to share Mrs. Wells word with you --
Devotion--
Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2Wisdom--
Show wisdom by your good life, by deeds done in the humanity that comes from wisdom. The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.James 3: 13, 17 Blessings--
I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103: 1-2The scripture quotations are from the new International Version of the Bible according to the information in the book. The Women of Faith Daily Devotional is a Zondervan publication if you are interested in this daily devotional.
Starting the New Year by spending some time each day with a good daily devotion and the Bible will help you center your life around God and learn more about his will for you. Other daily devotionals that I have found helpful in my daily walk and sometimes with my daily inner struggles are
Streams in the Desert--
His Utmost for His Highest--
You can find devotionals in book stores and online. If you are not currently spending a part of your day with the Lord and are feeling discontent in life, then consider daily devotion and prayer as a way to find peace and build your personal relationship with God.
