I’m starting a New Year,
putting the last behind . . .
for, God has a purpose
in this one for me to find.
I don’t know what it’ll be,
not sure where it’ll lead
but, God will guide me
as His word I read.
Not sure what to expect,
don’t yet know the direction
but, God will steer me
if I give Him my attention.
I don’t know what I will do,
so, I’m praying as I go . . .
for, I know God has a plan
and the way He will show.
I’m starting a New Year,
just like the one before . . .
trusting God with the future
whatever may be in store!

“For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.”

Great poem. Makes me think of Isaiah 43:18-19:
Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
“Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert (NASB).
