“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ” 2 Corinthians 2:14a NKJV
Wait a minute! Did I perceive someone saying in their heart, what are we celebrating anyway? Funds to celebrate or to buy gifts etc is limited.
Did I hear you say to yourself, last year was loaded with too many problems, challenges & negative happenings?
Friend, how many times have you breathed in and out this year? How many times did you sleep, wake, travel and returned home? How many trips did u make to the grocery store/market and returned home?
Yes, life was very tough , challenging, with unexpected twists, turns and bends, yet you are alive, you celebrated your birthday, your faculties & limbs are functioning. God kept you, helped you, provided for you & sustained you.
It's true, life threw lemons but with the power of Jesus we made lemonade out of it.
Father, cause all things to work together for my good this year and always IJN,
Shalom!
