PSALMS 8:1

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

TO PONDER:

It was one of those incredible ‘wow’ moments of life. Under sail in the middle of the night, surrounded by the vast waters of the ocean, a little 40-foot blip under the twinkling canopy of stars. So awesome. So humbling. I have never felt more insignificant in the bigger scheme of God’s great design.

Yet the real ‘wow’ moment was not how insignificant I felt, but how the all-powerful and all-creating God of the universe should still love me, care for me, watch over me, hold me, guide me, have a purpose for me, want a relationship with me. That is what was truly awesome. As you reflect on the past year, what ‘God moments’ left you breathless and in awe of God’s leading, guiding, protecting? What moments of beauty, love and grace had God’s fingerprints all over them. What left you marvelling at his goodness, overwhelmed by his mercy.  For from the start of 2022 to its end, the Lord, your Lord, was with you. Every breath. Every step. Every moment. Every joy. Every hardship. Every struggle. Always. 

Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  If God is for us and with us, bring on 2023!  Spend some time reflecting on the ‘God moments’ that stand out for you in 2022? Thank him.

PRAYER:

Lord of the seasons and years, you are constant in your love and mercy. Thank you for your presence and help in 2022.  Guide and lead me in the year ahead. Prepare my heart for what you have for me next and give me a heart of faith to go where you call me to go. Amen.
