Our Year of Grace and Favor

Is 30:18 ~ The lord longs to be gracious to you

On Dec. 31st, the clock strikes midnight ushering in another new year. Most are glad to see 2020 in their rear view mirror & very excited to see what  2021 holds for us. I am expecting this to be the year of the favor of the Lord for his people. A new beginning, a gift of promise. However, we must accept it, unwrap it, and use it! Unfortunately not everyone does.

Maybe you dread what the new year holds; retirement, the empty nest, unemployment, etc. Fortunately, the Lord takes people at the end of their rope and sets them on the road to peace, joy, and victory. He is an expert at drying tears, calming fears, and injecting courage into anxious hearts. Furthermore, He removes the sting of old memories. He makes all things new, Revelation 21:5. He never leads you back, just forward.

“The Lord longs to be gracious to you.” To be gracious means to show favor. The desire of God’s heart is that you walk in His grace and favor everyday of the year. Let’s believe together that 2020 what the devil meant for evil, God will turn it around and make something beautiful out of it. Looking forward to 2021!!
