Revelation 21:5 NKJV
[5] Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
Good Morning!
As we enter into this new year, we have a chance to create new resolutions, make new promises to ourselves, create new goals in life and work, and make some new friends. With all of this “new” stuff top of mind, I thought it would be apropos to mention that the creator of all things also has a plan to make all things new.
In Revelations, God will set His final plan for all of us into place. He will be creating a new heaven and new earth where there will be no more tears and no more pain. We will have an eternal place of “all things new.” We will enjoy being in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords for all of eternity.
Revelation 21:4 NKJV
[4] And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
As we sit and ponder this new year and new opportunities for 2020, remember that each every day is a day that the Lord has made and no matter what happens, we can rejoice and be glad in it because we know what our eternal future holds.
God made everything for His great pleasure and His grace gives us the confidence of all of the tomorrows to come. Let’s start this new year with the eternal view of “all things new” and not just this new year. With that eternal view, let’s also remember the charge of Jesus to His followers – to “go and bear fruit.”
Let’s make this new year a “fruitful” year.
I love you and am praying for you today!

Psalm 118:24 NKJV
