Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.—Psalm 149:6 (KJV)
This momentous, one-of-a-kind year, with all the changes and challenges due to the pandemic, has an upside. It has helped us to grow—to accept the uncertainty of the future and to be ready and willing to sing a new song because we know that God is with us.
Lord, as this year comes to a close, guide me to embrace the unknown and to praise You for being beside me along the way.
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
