It is yet another New Year…..

‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning’. John 1: 1-2.

Yet another New Year is just at door step! The curtains are to fall on 2025 and the doors of 2026 are set to open. The New Year is the day that marks the end of one year and the beginning of the next year. The tradition of the New Year’s Resolutions goes all the way back to 153 B.C. Janus, a mythical king of early Rome was placed at the head of the calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year. One of the traditions associated with New Year’s observances is the making of resolutions, promises to stop or start something in the New Year New Year’s Eve is a great time for Christian believers to get together and rejoice, either in homes or in Churches. Food, fun and fellowship are a healthy alternative to all-night excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages. The Bible does not speak for or against the concept of New Year’s resolutions.

It’s that time of year when everyone makes ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ – things that you and I plan to do to make next year better than last.  In reality, there is only one resolution that any of us needs to make in order to cause all of the other things we desire to fall into place.  What is that resolution?  It’s stated perfectly in Deuteronomy 6: 5: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” This commandment of the Heavenly Father is true in all human relationships, husband – wife; parents – children; between friends, between relatives, between colleagues and so on. Love God and love others. If you love God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength, you will put Him first in all things, “…and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matt. 6: 33). “…Forgetting what is behind, and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”   

Peep into 2025 and leap into 2026. Forget the ills and wrongs of yesterday.  If you remember them at all, remember them as lessons you learned in the process of moving toward your ultimate goal – becoming more like Jesus.  Hold nothing in your heart or memory that will be a stumbling block to your walk with Him. Many things I have tried to grasp, and have lost. That which I have placed in God’s hands I still have. ‘Keep the smile, leave the tear. Think of joy, forget the fear. Hold the laughter, leave the pain. Be joyous, because it’s New Year’s Day’.Let us work together, hand in hand with our Heavenly Father. “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” Ps. 37: 5-6. 

As the New Year begins let us pray that it will be a year with peace, happiness, and abundance of new friends. God bless you throughout the year. Willing to do meaningful commitments, to make your vision more exciting, motivating and inspiring, to take a firm resolve, reminding success comes with challenges, doubts, and trials. …..every great accomplishment comes only after a real price is paid. Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man. Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Every man should, start with a fresh page first day of January, let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.”  It’s New Years Day and this is a great time to Plan, Do and Review for 2021. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.   2 Cor. 5: 17.
