Thoughts on Today's Verse...

As we stand at the end of one year and look over tomorrow into the beginning of a new one, let's remember that before our New Year's resolutions are made and before this year has come to its end, we must declare to all, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord..." (Joshua 24:15). We choose to seek God and his kingdom first. That's our highest priority, and we trust that God will add all the other things we need as and when we need them.

My Prayer...

As I conclude this year and begin another, dear Father, I pray that you will help me keep my eyes on Jesus and my heart focused on your will as I seek your kingdom above all other things. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
