😊HAPPY NEW YEAR🤗

Being happy can be found in the darkest of days if we remember to turn on the light. 

As we face the New Year we are all hoping and looking  for a good year. Some want a better year than the last while others are satisfied and hope the next will be the same as the last. Whichever side you agree with there is one thing for sure you want to be here and enjoy Christmas of 2026. Don't you? I thought you would say yes. 2026 will bring joy, excitement, thrills and chills but it will also have its days of disappointment, discouragement as well as sadness. Everyday will be different, none will be the same, maybe almost but not the same. Days are like our finger prints; they are all different.

The New Year 2026 Thursday January 1 many will say to themselves. I will stop cursing, looking, smoking, drinking, I will fix my anger problem, I will love my wife/husband/ children more, I will pray, read my Bible, go to Church and the list goes on and on. It's the list that never ends, why? Because

Sin is our Daily Battle:

Sin “The voluntary departure of a moral agent from a known rule”

We can curb its appetite but we will never be able to destroy its presence. 

1. David teaches us how to Cleanse our way 

Psalms 119:9 (KJV) Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Do we?

2. David teaches us how to Curb our appetite 

Psalms 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Do we?

How do we Cleanse our way & Curb our appetite 

3. David teaches us not to wander from God's Commandments 

Psalms 119:10 (KJV) With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Do we know what they are?

Yet we still wander, we still sin! Why? I try so hard. Here’s why, we are sinners and we need a Savior! A Savior that will forgive us.

Hebrews 8:12 (KJV) For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 10:17 (KJV) And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Psalms 103:12 (KJV) As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

FORGIVENESS is refusing to bring it up.

I have a close friend and I hurt his feelings. And for over 30 years he was upset with me. One day I apologized and asked for his forgiveness and he nor I have ever brought it up again. God FORGAVE and will never bring it up again. Has God forgotten? 

No, I just don’t think God will forget what Jesus died for. 

Hollywood has marketed sin to be enjoyable and entertaining. Is it? No it’s not and we all have had our personal adventure to know. Get ready for 2026 and make a real difference that this time next year you can rejoice and be glad. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Don’t forget to turn on the light
