Ventures in New Year

 


Snowflakes and beachside

Christmas world round

Reminders of love

From heaven come down.

 

Candles and carols

Wreaths and trees, too,

Reminders of God’s love

Heralding new year truths.

 

As reminder of the babe

Come down from heaven above,

God tells us our new year

Brings with it His love.

 

New years bring planning,

Hopes, and, for some, tears,

Yet seeking God daily

Gives peace without fear.

 

Troubles from yesterday,

Lost hope from the past

Weigh nothing with a new year

God is greater than that.

 

What comes with January one,

God knows it well;

The Creator of the day

Rules over the detail.

 

Nothing surprises

And nothing prevails

Against almighty God

Ruler o’er earth, heaven, and hell.

 

Nothing comes against you

That God does not know;

Nothing defeats Him

He’s greater than your foes.

 

No troubles or trials

Need overtake your faith,

For God’s already conquered

And for you made a way.

 

Hope, joy, and heart peace

God gives to His child,

As you venture through the new year

He, to you, has supplied.

 

A blessing of love,

To God’s children from His heart,

To give them all needed

To live strong with Him from the start.
