Watching for the New Day
By Brenda Drake

Oh how fast the years seem to pass.  We are now looking forward to a brand New Year; with hopes of new beginning we make our New Year resolutions.   But to many the change began with the day of Salvation, when God made the change within us.  We are new; we are born again into new life in Christ Jesus.

Watching for the New Day
By Brenda Drake

The New Year starts for many on New Year’s Day,
They have purposed to truly change their ways.
But for some change has already taken place;
They are a new man, born again, saved by grace.
The New Year ahead is a gift holding some treasures;
Pleasant, satisfying, that will bring much pleasure.
It may hold some trials, and certain rain; some,
Where the child of God is reminded their journey is not yet done.
The love and sure hold of the One they serve,
Ministers and comforts them undisturbed.
Each day added with God’s work on earth done.
They are watching as the bride for the return of God’s Son;
Waiting for a new day in a new world under Christ’s reign.
Where at last only love and Love’s influence will forever remain.

Revelations 19:11-16
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Revelations 20:1
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

When Tomorrow Comes By Brenda Drake

This is the first day of the New Year.  It is the gift of today; let us get tomorrow in focus by trusting and following the Lord today.

When Tomorrow Comes

I walk into tomorrow with the Word as a guide.
It lights my path and He dwells inside.
Because of God’s assurance and presence deep within,
I can walk ahead without fear as I follow after Him.
The world’s loud voice says all is lost,
But God speaks in a loving sound, meet me at the cross.
The world shows its hard muscles of deception and decay.
But my Lord instructs to bow our knee and pray.
Truth reigns victorious in the end.
Rest and have faith as you place your trust in Him.
Tomorrow is a mystery but one thing I know is true,
My God is already there and He leads us through.
Today is a good day to praise God above;
Giving thanks for His everlasting love.
When tomorrow comes it is the perfect time again,
To offer it as a today-gift, as you walk in faith with Him.

Matthew 6:33=34
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
