A Heart of Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.—Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Since the new year will not be any newer than you are, make up your mind that you are going to be new.” Today is a glorious beginning. A time to focus on a future filled with prayer and praise, service to God and mankind; a future filled with God’s presence, guided by His wisdom and empowered by His strength.
Father Almighty, this is Your New Year. Shine Your love into my life, fill me with Your peace and encourage me with Your promises.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.—Psalm 107:1 (NIV)

Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.—Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
