“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God” Psalm 20:7
The holidays are over. The resolutions made. It’s time to get back to work. It’s time to plant our feet firmly on the ground and see where we are.
All the aspirations expressed in our resolutions and all the “Peace on Earth” felt in our holiday celebrations must now give way to grinding it out on a daily basis.
This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where we demonstrate who we really are. The politicians have “fixed” the fiscal cliff. Get ready to pay more and have less. All the bills for Christmas you put on your credit cards is about to come due. All that stuff you put off until, “after the First of the Year” has just moved to the top of your stack of to dos.
It’s time to really act like our trust is in the Name of the LORD our God. That’s easy to do when we are on holiday. It’s not a challenge when we are sitting at home watching football. It’s a bit tougher when we have to respond to the alarm before it’s light. It’s a challenge when we have to bundle up and drive to work. It’s a lot more real real when the kids have to get ready for school and just remembered they had home work.
It’s time to show who we really are. It’s time to establish our position: “In Christ.” It’s time to act out the vision He has for the rest of our lives.
2013. Here we come.
Be blessed.
