And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:1-5)

God blessed us with Jesus Christ, which makes us the luckiest people in the galaxy. This Bible verse explains to us what Jesus’ relationship to the Lord, the world, and to Christians is. Jesus is the ultimate life and light in the world. He is the true Son of God. Without Him, we would not be able to survive life after death, or thrive on earth.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)

Without doubt God is absolutely faithful in keeping His promises. So as you are confronted by difficult situations in the coming year, commit yourself to seeking Him, observing His commands, watching for His help, maintaining your focus on Him, recalling His faithfulness, and embracing His word found in bible verses.
