With the new year approaching, now is a great time to reflect on the past 12 months. 12 months of highs and lows. 12 months of Jesus remaining faithful through it all. The Lord is consistent, steady, and unchanging. He is the Rock we can lean on through any chapter of life.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
During difficult seasons, it’s not easy to cling to this truth. We get knocked down, discouraged, and maybe our Bibles start to collect dust as we get stuck. And when life is good, maybe we want to sleep in when Sunday morning rolls around. It is a common habit to avoid God when we feel we don’t need Him.
God is always there, even when you don’t choose Him. He still loves you. He still desires a relationship with you. If you are a Christ follower, you know joy can be found through both the ups and downs of life. This joy is rooted in Jesus, and it goes beyond the things of this world. (Thank goodness!) We can rely on Him through any circumstance life throws at us. Let’s step into the new year with a joy-filled, faith-based mindset.
