New Life in Christ – January 1, 2020

New Life in Christ

… just as Christ was raised from the dead, through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:4

Blessed New Year! We made it to another year, by God’s grace! And so we continue living a new life in Christ, not because it is a new year, but because of the fact that He lived, suffered, died, and was resurrected so that we live each day in Him, whatever the year!

Here are 12 Healthy Hoorays for you and me to consider as we live out our lives in the Lord in this New Year:

1. Remember that our hope is in the name of the Lord. Even though we have considered all the facts, there is always hope in Christ!
2. Ask for Help – God’s gifts are in the people around you!
3. Laugh out loud – at yourself and at others, and give people permission to laugh!
4. Take care of your body – It’s the only one you have!
5. Say “Thank You” to people as often as you can! “Thank You!”
6. Look for trouble – More specifically, look for the troubled – the lonely, the sick, those who think God has forsaken them.
7. Talk to children regularly – it’s good for them, and us!
8. Remember your present mood is never permanent.
9. On a scale of 1 to 10, your friends deserve a 12!
10. Remember, that life is not fair, but God is gracious.
11. Be – the biggest picture window to the Gospel that you can be.
12. Things are not always as they seem – see life through the Cross and the Empty Tomb!

Prayer
Lord, enable us to live out a life of joy, peace, and hope throughout this year, always knowing that You are there to lead and guide. Throughout this year keep giving us 2020 Vision as we serve and celebrate our faith, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
