Ephesians 1:3-6… “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.” vss. 3-4
What a great thought for New Year’s Day! Praise God! We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus. We have been chosen from before time began to be holy and blameless people, and that gift is ours purely and totally because of God’s love. Because the world is both good and broken, sometimes we completely forget the blessings that God so generously showers upon us. Bedeviled by the ever-increasing presence of AI, greedy politicians, and conspiracy theories it’s hard to see through the veil of despair that dominates the daily news cycle. More than ever we need to look beyond the threats and our fears and grasp the timeless reality of God’s love. Since today has been traditionally linked with resolutions, perhaps we can resolve to look beyond the ubiquitous rumors and commonplace lies, and take hold of the promises that are ours in Christ Jesus. We are called by the Holy Spirit to holiness, to stand above the chaos of social media, and to spend every day spreading love and good cheer among friends and enemies alike. We’ve never lived the days of 2026 before–they could be our best days ever.
Thought for the Day: How’s my holy blameless life going?
