Do You Fear This New Year?
January 3, 2020
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:6).
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
If you are going to face this year with steadfast resolve, you must find your contentment, your companionship, and your confidence in Christ. And then you'll find your comfort in Christ. Then you may boldly say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
I'm not trying to tell you life’s going to be all honey and no bees. No, the Christians in the book of Hebrews faced heartaches and trials. They had opposition from family, friends and foes alike. They faced mockery and brutality. Yet they could boldly say, “The Lord is my helper."
Friend, this coming year may be difficult for you. But I am telling you that you can stand upon the promises of the Word of God.
ACTION POINT:
We don't know what the coming year will bring—sickness, heartache, or trouble. But I do know you can boldly say, “The Lord will be my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Find your contentment, your companionship, and your confidence in Jesus. In Him, you will find your comfort and your courage.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
