I trust that you have been able to enjoy some time this Christmas with family or friends. This week is often a time to relax, reflect on the last year and ponder what lies ahead.
As we prepare to say goodbye to 2023 and welcome in a New Year, I want to leave you with a simple verse of scripture: “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)
Each year brings its joys and sorrows. Whatever you have been through, whatever you are hoping for or expecting in the days ahead, know this – God is faithful. And he isn’t finished with you yet. He knows your fears and your dreams. He understands where you are and you can rest in him, full of confidence.
Remembering this truth will help carry you through many good and bad days. May you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour in 2024.
