While I was searching my spirit and asking the Lord what to write, I heard the song “Our God Reigns” by William Murphy. I pondered the lyrics. It says:
Our god reigns
Lord you reign above every name
With power and majesty
Dominion authority
You reign
With power and majesty
Dominion authority
You reign
Over my circumstance
Given me another chance
The very last statement gave me so much hope for the new year, because the new year is another chance. It is another chance to get it right. It is another chance to do the right thing. It is another opportunity to be better than before. It is a clean slate.
I know we often get excited when a new year comes in, and then the excitement has dwindled within the first 30 days, but I challenge you to shift your perspective this time. Enter the new year with not only excitement, but with a persevering spirit. What does that look like? It is a spirit that stays fixed. It is a spirit that says that in spite of what I encounter, I will believe God. It is a spirit that says all things work for my good, and I believe that even my storm is a set up for my rainbow. It is the spirit that says that I do not care if my tribulations last all year, but I will believe that God is working something good. It is a spirit that will hope against all hope. It is a spirit that is stubborn as a mule when it comes to belief in God. It is a spirit that says it is not and it CAN NOT be all for nothing. It says I don’t know how, where, or when, but doggone it God will do what he said, and it will be good because his word says that I win in the end, and in him there is no failure.
Welcome to Another Chance
