those who
hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
they will soar on wings
like eagles.
they will run
and not grow weary.
they will walk and
not be faint.
{isaiah 40.31}
everlasting to everlasting
As for man,
his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those
who fear Him.
{psalm 103:15-17}
fear not.
Fear not
for I have redeemed you.
I have summoned you by name
& you are mine.
When you pass through the waters
I will be with you.
& when you pass through the rivers
they will not sweep
over you.
isaiah 43:1-2
Only One Resolution For The New Year
As Jesus and His disciples were on their way,
He came to a village where a woman named Martha
opened her home to Him.
She had a sister called Mary,
who sat at the Lord’s feet
listening to what He said.
But Martha was distracted
by all the preparations that had to be made.
She came to Him and asked,
“Lord, don’t You care
that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?
Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered,
“you are worried and upset about many things,
but only one thing is needed.
Mary has chosen what is better,
and it will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:38-42
