This will give you joy and confidence!

In this new year, instead of worrying about how we are going to get our needs met, let’s daily decree His word over our lives.  2 Corinthians 9:8 says: “God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

His Word is His promise. It is his bond. If He said it, He will do it. This means that we can serve the Lord this year with gladness of heart, knowing that He meets all of our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. All grace is abounding toward us, so we can rejoice and confidently say, this is the day that the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24)!

Bless the Lord this last day of the year!

When the phrase “bless” the Lord is used in Psalms 103, it is used to praise, glorify and speak well of Almighty God. It is not only right to bless and praise Him every day. It is also necessary for us to do so, because in praising and worshiping Him, we are remembering His goodness, His kindness, His blessings and benefits that He bestows on us every day. David “blessed” the Lord every day. He would even remind His soul to bless the Lord and not forget all His benefits (Psalms 103). He had developed a discipline of blessing the Lord every single day. Whatever we focus and speak about every day, stays close to our heart. This is a powerful principle. God told Joshua to meditate on His word every day so that he could prosper in all that God had given him to do.  The Lord Jesus told us to pray the “Our Father” every day. It’s time to ensure that part of our daily disciplines include “Blessing” the Lord every day. He has to be number one in our lives. This way, we will never forget what and who is really important in our lives.

Psalms 103: 1-2 “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits”
