2009? Already?

As the Christmas week comes to an end, I can't help but think about the new year. 2009! Wow! It's hard to realize that a new year is already upon us. With every "new", God always us a do over. Every new minute, new hour, new day, new week, new month, new year always us the Christ-given privilege of grace. His mercies are new every day. We, as humans, hold on to yesterday's mercies as if God cannot be counted on to be there the next day. The ironic thing is that as we hold on to yesterday, fearing what tomorrow may hold, God is already there. He is never surprised by what we do or don't do. He is never caught off guard by something we ask of Him. No "new" surprises Him. As we look forward to 2009 with excitement and some trepidation due to the economy and new presidency, God is already there, waiting. What's He waiting for, you may ask. Us. His children. Our trust. He waits for us to believe and rely on Him in every second of every day of every week of every month in every year. As 2009 quickly approaches, place your future in His hands. After all, He already knows what the future holds...He's already there!

In His palms,
Angie
