“So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.”
I think this verse, from Hebrews 12:12-13, will be a focal verse for me this year. I am in my 51st year. Life isn’t what I assumed it would be. I am weary in life, both as I feel some physical change and emotional toil. The world, certainly the American culture, has turned in the past 7-8 years in ways that are very discouraging and disturbing. And yet, God calls me, calls each who call Him Father, to renew their strength. Be of good courage. Take your stand. Remember you are living not for yourself, but for others, part of a grand plan for His Kingdom.
Happy New Year.
