Happy New Year.

And It IS a New Year.  Right?   A simple fact of calendar life.  The earth continues to revolve on its axis, giving us day and night, and it continues its circuit around the sun, adding bunches of years.

If you are of a mind to say “Ho-hum, same old stuff”, I suppose I should remind you that:  “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”.  (Hebrews 13:8)   He’s not ho-hum stuff.

If you say, “So what’s new”?  How about this:  “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  The LORD is my portion”, says my soul.  “therefore I will hope in him”.  (Lamentations 3:23 -24)

So, I suppose you could say the same old stuff isn’t so old after all.
