Last year-end I wrote a post reflecting on the highlights from the year prior — a "look back" if you will. But there is no look back post for 2015.
This past year wasn't memorable.
Sure, I have good memories from 2015. The year started off great and I had some fantastic times with friends. But it was a hard year and a long year and a short year and a stressful year and a year that I'd honestly be okay if I forgot most of it.
What do I remember? Cereal. God for some reason beyond me chose to use cereal to somewhat regularly remind me that He loves me. He hasn't forgotten me. And in years where the happy moments seem like a lifetime behind me, He still has plans to prosper me.
This hope is the anchor for my soul.
Not hope that 2016 will be better; for all I know, it could be way worse. So many people put their hope in new beginnings, only to be buried in disappointment by February. My hope is in Who my God is, what He has done, and what He will do.
My God is a God Who keeps His promises. He is a God Who is faithful to care for me, and He sustains me in my weakness.
My God died on a cross so that I wouldn't have to face His just wrath. He then came back to life.
My God is coming again to rule on this earth and make everything right. He will make me His bride and His partner for eternity.
I have no guarantees about tomorrow.
It could be great. It could be terrible. I may not live to see it.
My hope is not in tomorrow.
My hope is in my God.
May 2016 be a year where you experience Him.
