Where will this year take us?

It's the first full week of 2016! WOW, what happened to 2015? It does seem that the year flew by, at times anyway. It had it's days that seemed to last for weeks, and weeks that seemed to last for months, but, in the end, it went really fast.

But, we are into a new year. It seems but yesterday it was still 1999 but it is seventeen years later. I look back on last year and see some of  the things we came through. How about you? I see things that were completely unexpected that turned out to be more than I ever could have imagined; blessing galore and happiness aplenty. There were also those times that I really had to trudge through and persevere by simply putting one foot in front of the other. So, what will 2016 bring? Where will 2016 take us?

Today's word is a reminder of how we can survive each day in this coming year. It is Proverbs 3:13, ESV, which reads, "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding."

If we want to be blessed in this coming year, and I am sure that we all do, we need to connect ourselves to the Source of all blessings. And, one of the greatest blessings is His wisdom and direction. There will be things that crop up that take us by complete surprise. It is then that we need to seek GOD and His direction through that situation. The more we do that, the more we will see His love and closeness, and the more we will understand His plan for our lives.

Where will this year take us? What will this year present us? GOD only knows. Let's seek His will and follow His plan, then, we will see the picture clearly and find ourselves wiser and more knowledgeable than ever before.

Be Blessed,
