On January 1, 2021, I wanted the new year to bring an end to the pandemic and the social upheaval and the political unrest everywhere. But the start of a new year can’t change everything. In fact, the only thing that the new year is guaranteed to change is the calendar.
In too many ways (in my opinion, at least), 2021 seemed like 2020. Sigh.
Still, I begin 2022 with hope. How can I do otherwise as a daughter of the King? And “hope” is the word (along with the verses in Romans 5:5 and Ephesians 1:18) that God gave me for 2022.
“and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5, NASB95)
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,” (Ephesians 1:18, NASB95)
I plan to dwell on the hope that Christ has given me. Perhaps you’ll choose to do the same.
May 2022 bring you one step closer to the One who is our hope.
