FROM WITHIN
Happy New Year! It’s 2024! It’s hard to believe that we are in a new year, it seems as if time is moving at lighten speed. Before we can catch our breath from all the distraction of 2023, now 2024 is upon us! However, we must keep moving forward. 2024 will have its own challenges and distractions, but we know that these things only make us stronger and wiser. When you are faced with challenges or distractions don’t become disheartened, meaning losing confidence or hope in yourself, but instead face them head on! They are design to take your focus away from God and His plans for your life. In the book of Matthew 6: 33 it tells us “But seek ye first the kingdom of God…” Staying in the word of God will help you to stay focus and get you through your challenges and distractions. “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings: that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12-13 Wishing you a very prosper 2024! And as always, Love, Peace, and Increase Verna V. Nickelberry
