The lines from the hymn, How Good is the God We Adore, came to mind this morning. I suppose it should have been thought of yesterday, the last day of the year 2022, and sung as the year tipped us into 2023. Neverthe less, it's still good an valid this Lord's Day morn, I believe.
We can still review how faithful and unchangeable this Friend is. We can still be thankful for all He has done for us throughout the past year and all the years of our lives thus far.
This year, we may have fears of what's to come but as we trust Him in ever-increasing measure, we will see just how good He is. As the hymn confidently sings, we can "trust Him for all that's to come."
Let's praise the One Who died for us, thanking Him too, for the Comforter, His Holy Spirit, who guides us, not just for this day, but for all the days ahead until Jesus gives us the shout to go up to be with Him - forever.
All of this because God's love and power are great and limitless. As brothers and sisters-in-Christ the world over gather together in Jesus' Name, around the table, simply set with a loaf of bread and a cup of wine, let us remember, not just all the ways He has helped us through 2022, but more importantly, what His death and resurrection has meant in our own souls and the souls of countless multitudes since the cross.
Hasn't He been faithful? Hasn't He been unchangeable? Isn't He good? Have you felt His unmitigated love and power? Have you known His Holy Spirit's guidance? i think we can confirm and affirm all of the above.
Then praise Him, adore Him, trust him, reach for and partake of the broken bread, drink from the cup of wine, in rememberance of all He has done. That is, all He has done for mankind first and foremost, then for you as an individual. What a wonderful, faithful and unchangeable Friend who loves us at all times.
Sing afresh, "How good is the God we adore."
