Isaiah 65:17 reads: “See I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered nor will they come to mind.” Today, many people are tormented by things that come to their minds. ‘God’s word does not return to Him null and void’…this word is an exciting one, refreshing and liberates those who truly embrace this promise with hope.
2 Peter 3:13 reads: “But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells.
We are embarking on a new year, let us let go of what we cannot change, laying all those things at the feet of Jesus. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we would be set free, and have eternal life.
Revelations 21:5 reads: “Then the one sitting on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new. Write down what I have said. My words are true and can be trusted.'” I encourage people to read Revelation 21:1-8. It again describes what the new, Holy City will be like…”Where He will wipe away every tear, no more death, no more mourning or pain, for the old things have passed away…”.
It is so refreshing to think that we have this hope to fix our eyes on, isn’t it? What is even more refreshing, He keeps track of all our sorrows, Psalm 56:8 reads: “Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll-are they not in Your record?” Such an intimate love, our Father has for us, so if you have ever felt your world falling apart, and you think that you are alone weeping, not so- He is keeping track of every tear, realizing that one verse as truth, changed the way I think about loneliness. He sees you weeping, but the day will come when there will be no more tears, what a wonderful day that will be!
If you have never asked Jesus to be Lord of your life, start your new year off with all the promises of the righteous! Jesus came to earth as a man, willingly sacrificed Himself for all of our sins, He died for us so we would never have to die. He lives today- ever living to intercede for all of us. He rose again to grant us eternal life just as He has. Ask Him today to come into your life, change your heart, lay down all that bothers you, and ask His Holy Spirit to come into your life also so that you have an ongoing guide through His living word and power to walk in His will, and to keep standing righteous before Him.
Happy New Year! This decision is the best decision you will ever make for your life, and a wonderful direction to walk into the new year! He makes all things new!!
