The Promise of Spring
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.—Zechariah 10:1 (NIV)
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.—Isaiah 43:18 (NIV)
As the year winds down, it’s natural to reflect on the past. If you feel disheartened by something in your life, turn to God and know that He has the strength to help you move forward. He has the grace to guide you to see the goodness and blessings that will unfold in the New Year.
Dear Lord, take my hand and guide my steps to the future filled with Your promises.
