As Time Passes By

When He spoke time was created and continues to pass by.

I often wonder why everyone celebrates so much when a New Year starts to be exact when the clock hits 12:00 am. January 1^st seems to symbolize a new way of thinking about a New Year. What are they celebrating anyway? A new day that will be like every other day. It’s just another celebrated holiday to allow people a day off work to have big parties and blow up fireworks but what is it all really for?

 Is it to escape from a bad year that has gone by? We all have had bad times and should put them in the past and look to the New Year with hope and the expectation that things will get better. God created the lights to divide the days and the nights and those days are what make up the months, seasons, and years. We don’t have to be worried or afraid of what the New Year will bring because there is a light that shines brighter than anything that could shines in the sky.

That bright light of this world is Jesus. If you except Jesus as your Savior then His light will shine through you for others to see. Even in this new uncertain year ahead, if you have Jesus in your life He will help you through all the hard times and be there in the good times as well. The years seem to be passing by at a very fast pace and we celebrate a New Year sooner and sooner, so it seems. Give yourself something to really celebrate and that is a new life with Jesus your hope for a better future. Now that would be the best New Year you could ever have. Time is going quickly don’t wait to make a decision it may only come once.

35. Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

Ephesians 5:8 (NKJV)
8. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
