Word-filled Wednesdays

For word-filled Wednesday this week, I was thinking on the new year. At first, I considered using the verse, "I know I the plans I have for you..." but then this verse came to mind. With the new year it is natural to think on time and its passage and hope for the future. How delightful that we can know that God will make us beautiful! How amazing that He loves us so dearly.

As we look to the stars we are reminded of the enormity of God and how small man is... and when we think on the concept of eternity our mind reels. Not so with our Almighty God! He is eternal. He spoke this vast universe into being! Look at the beauty of the universe! The picture I chose is of a galaxy. It is stunningly beautiful, isn't it? I don't feel beautiful when I look to that picture. And even so, He loves ME and concerns Himself in the lives of man, in MY life. What an immense blessing! And what a lovely knowledge to know that in this immense world where we are but ants, where we can feel overwhelmed and lost at times, we are tended by the Most High God, and are safe in His care. We are being made beautiful and we are part of His plan from beginning to end.

This year, I will be trying to read through the Bible, and so have included in my sidebar a plan for this goal. I will be reading God's Word first, before doing other things online, because I know that if my heart and mind are filled with God's Word and my eyes are upon Him, I am NOT lost, but instead on solid ground. A good place to start a new year. I will allow God and His Word to work in me, to transform me, to make me new, and beautiful and I will rest in the knowledge that God is in control.
