The New Year
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
We mark our passing of time with various measurements. We use clocks for hourly measuremetn and calendars for daily and yearly time measurements. The passing of time is designed by God by the earth’s rotation around the sun. We measure our lives in the number of times the earth makes a full circle around the sun and celebrate the day that we were born. We also celebrate when the calendar changes from one year designation to another and we call this the New Year’s Eve Party. It is supposed to represent ‘out with the old and in with the new”, we put behind us the things of the past and look forward to the new things of the future. People make’ New Years Resolutons’ and hope things will be better than last year.
When you plan for the new year do you include God and His plans for you? When God is included in your plans then all things are new and fresh each and every day that we call today.
