A Promise Renewed

2015 fades and a new year arises. Welcome to 2016. Each day we are blessed to receive bares a promise renewed. God does not go back on His word. His promises are true. It is but for you to receive and believe.

Psalm 84:11-12 (NKJV)

^"11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly."

I sit and stare out at a starry sky,

Thinking of the many days and nights that molded this past year.

A year met with much trembling and fear.

Fear of the unknown.

Fear of loss.

Pain.

Hope defunct.

 

Numb on the outside,

Spirit bludgeoned.

Broken and hollow.

I can't feel You,

But I know You are here.

Through tears, 

A silent prayer for respite.

 

"Set your affections on the things above,"

Wrench away the corruption of fleshly mind.

Lay me in spiritual garments.

A new day is here,

And so it come,

A promise renewed.

 

Inhale...exhale,

I rise out of ash,

To receive the promise.

Change.

I see through different eyes.

I wear a different skin.

 

The old life passes away.

A new life begins.

In the days and nights to come,

A promise renews,

You don't have to ask.

For it has already been given.

 

Many Blessings to you and the newness of life. 

 

Happy New Year!
