Starting Anew


We are here, at the end of 2015.

When Paul was reaching the end of his life and earthy ministry, he wrote these words to Timothy, 

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:6-8 (NIV)

If you were to sum up 2015, did you "fight the good fight"?

Amid all the New Year's Eve celebrations and traditions, let's take some time to reflect on 2015.  When did  we fight the good fight?  When did we shrink back?

The beauty is that we have another year, we can now  put 2015 behind us, and start anew. 

How we look back on 2016 will be determined by all the choices we make, from this point and moving forward.

May the Lord guide us all to the right ones.
