2024

To be honest, as midnight struck & people said 'Happy New Year!' my mind was screaming  STOP, WAIT, REWIND PLEASE! I'm not done with 2023 - I'm not half the person I ought to be!  I'm not ready to go on. I felt left behind and weary. "The seasons march at Your command, The old departs, The new year comes." (Selah) Time zooms past or lingers painfully at the pace set by a sovereign, merciful God whose will and purposes are being fulfilled every passing minute.  The year won't slow down or expand to accommodate my agenda, but it does march steadily to the beat of its master drummer, conductor, composer.  Each year will not fail to accomplish His agenda.

 FROM: Getty Music email, Keith and Kristyn Getty, An Urgent Call to Prayer, May 2, 2023

“Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.”

-Romans 12:11 (ESV)


When Paul exhorts us to “be fervent,” he means “to boil.” What a challenge to our often casual hearts. This verse, of course, follows Romans chapters 1-11, which may be the finest articulation of the gospel ever known to mankind. In the case of George Verwer, John Piper said he lived like “my gunpowder blows up at the smallest spark of God’s saving grace.”

~End of excerpt

"The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!
The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is exalted above all the peoples.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is He." (Psalm 99:1-3)
