Matthew 19:25 NASB "And looking at them, Jesus said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”Who would have thought it possible?! Today's Word is one of those we need to memorize and hold on to as we face the new year. It seemed impossible to me to let go of the anger but once I let God take over, things changed. I had never read or heard the bible verse that says "be angry but do not sin". When I began to meditate upon His Word, that particular verse, I found strength to be angry but not sin. I had done enough of that sinning for years. I tried this and that, you know the counting to ten, walking away from the situation, etc, but I always found that those things only lasted a little while. Letting God take control made the difference. Don't let man say we can't but let God say we can and will! peace, tom

Romans 8:31 NASB "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" Having a brother who has your back is a blessing! Today's verse is a great verse to hold on to through the new year! I was called into the boss' office and told that I was fired. I really didn't understand why or what he was referring to. When word got out, one of the friends I had made on the job, went to the boss and explained more detail of what had taken place, how it wasn't my fault. The boss called me back in and I was given my job back. There will be times when things go bad, but if we hold on to today's verse and have godly brothers around us, God will take care of the rest. The key of course is trusting Him. Let's put our trust in Him as we face the New Year! peace, tom
Colossians 3:17 NASB "Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." Well it's here! Today's verse is a great motto to have for the coming year! Happy New Year! It almost seems incredible that 2024 is here. The past year has been laid to rest, may we lay to rest all of the past baggage that we carry and look forward to what God has in store for us this year. It will not be without times of struggle, failures, difficulties but it will also be a year of accomplishments, success and getting through the struggles. It all depends on who we depend upon. God wants nothing more than to bless us, maybe this year is the year we let Him?! I always look forward to the New Year because I haven't sinned there yet! Just imagine if we really lived today's verse - doing everything in the name of the Lord - seems impossible but if we have God with us, all things are possible! Again Happy New Year, may it be blessed and we bless others! peace, tom
