Welcome to the New Year
It’s January 1st, 2023,
I'm giving God thanks and praise
For life and prosperity.
For life and prosperity
Come from the hand of God
Even if it appears to be delivered
By Satan, aka King Fraud.
“A year of new beginnings”
And we say this every year
But new beginnings come to us
Each and every day.
And thus, our goal should be
A daily resolved review,
Not waiting for the New Year
To start all over anew.
His word, His will, His way
Constantly before our mind
Reflecting on all of life
In our God-given time.
Starting off with His word
For it is the manual of life
That will maximize our sojourn here
Be there peace or strife.
Learning of His will
As we study the manual, His word,
And regardless of men’s wisdom
With that manual concur.
That we may walk in His way
That leads to eternal life
And particularly so in this day
Where evil is onerously rife.
“Hath God said?” you’d recall
The words of that talking snake
And ever since that beginning
Evil lies in his wake.
And so, as we begin this year
Do not dwell on resolutions
But focus on the living word of God
To rid us of our delusions.
Delusions of grandeur, I say,
That obscure the will of God,
That make evil good and good evil
At home as well as abroad.
His word, His will, His way,
This is the order that’s correct
And the way the world demands,
We must stoutly reject.
We are not now gods
And never will we be
Though this is the mind of many
That through blind eyes see.
God’s word reveals His will
And His will points out the way,
It therefore behooves us one and all
To walk in His way this year.
Happy New Year to you
And thanks for your support,
God’s Word, God’s Will, God’s Way,
Is the law of Heaven’s court.
