We embark on a new year, a new adventure. Let’s put 2021 behind us, shall we? Although COVID variety XYZ is spreading under the guise of Omicron, this time, and the federal government promised to conquer it, now shows its inability to plan and produce and guide and acknowledge its ineptitude, we won’t be able to bury this part of the overhang into 2022. But we can, if we try, set some goals, personal ones, and try to adapt to culture around us with an, “Oh Well, what else is new?” attitude. There will be challenges in ’22, no doubt about it, but let’s hope we can adapt and be resilient enough to overcome whatever else will strike us.
Isaiah in chapter 43 said, prophesying about God, who indeed runs this entire universe and foresees the future we can only glimpse: “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Let’s count on this and claim it for us, individually, for America, and for the world. Let the churches shout the exclamation that God is in charge, and if we will but look to Him for guidance, direction, comfort, and assurance, He will help us in our times of need, fear, discontent, and discouragement. We can count on it. Jesus said it best:”I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Therefore, “Let’s do it in twenty-two.” Let’s strive to learn, to love, to let God lead us, and see the rivers rush into the dry wasteland. How about it?
