Good morning people who step into the New Year with God on their side

WELCOME TO 2017!!!

And to my friends in parts of the world where it is still 2016…get ready, the view looks GREAT from here!

And let me tell you why. It’s not because all of the challenges of 2016 no longer exist, nor is it because there is a guarantee that everything will be easier in 2017. No, we will all still have to walk through different seasons…

…but God, our God, our infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent and continually ‘for us’ God is and has always been in 2017, even before we were born!

Today, let’s start the New Year in the right place and with the right focus:

Genesis 1:1a NIV In the beginning God…

This day, this month and this year of your life is no surprise to God. He existed before the year started, and thankfully, before any of us were breathed into existence.

And so it is with a great deal of confidence and boldness that we can enter this New Year and this new season because, God is with us, for us and in us!

May we be more aware of God this year than ever before.
