Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the Lord:
Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient
paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your
souls.’
Once in a great while, I wax poetic. So if this offends, I apologize:
A New Year is on us, the old one is gone
Clang all the cymbals, hammer the gong
The old is over, it is done, it is through
Now we can start better and all is new.
But is newer the better? Is shiny the best?
Will having the latest, give us a rest?
Will all this new stuff we found at the tree
Really be what’s best for you and for me?
Yes the New Year is here, but don’t throw out
the old.
For it was there we grew and came in from the
cold.
We made new friends, and found some we lost
We lived our life, and yes even paid a cost.
The Old Year that past, was it really that
bad?
Did all go wrong, did we lose all we had?
Can we look back, and see what is past
Or would we rather take the future so fast.
As for me and my house, in God we will be
bold.
For He gives us the past and the future to
hold.
He shows us the way that is better to walk
And He shows us love, even when we do balk
So look to our God, for the pathway to take
And travel in praise for God’s only sake
A New Year is on us, the old one is gone
Clang all the cymbals and hammer the gong.
May God give you a Happy, Joyous and
Prosperous 2014.
Amen
