Happy New Year
Happy 2nd day of this brand new year. When I cracked open my Daily Light yesterday, God’s Word really spoke to my heart. The verses were all so good and a great way to begin the new year. I decided that it would be a good way to start off this week:
But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind,… I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
“Father, I desire that they… whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me.”—I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.—He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.—Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus.
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you.”
And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.”—I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.—For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Team YOU: Daily Scripture reading… because YOU, Lord, would like a word with me: Genesis 4-6; Proverbs 1; Matthew 1
Motivations: Daily quotes…because they keep it- on point: Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first 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. Henry Ward Beecher
Practice to Remember: Memory Verses… because it’s not just a game: Level 1: Ephesians 1:3; Level 2: Ephesians 1:1-6
Powered Up: Prayer…because it works: The strongest knees are those which bend most easily. Mary S. Wood
