Genesis 1:1-2:3; Job 1:1-2:10; Matthew 1:1-24

For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You. Do not be afraid nor dismayed…for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:12, 15 NKJV

It may not be a battle, but looking ahead into this new year, we face uncertain times. We feel like Jehoshaphat prayed, “We have no power…nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You”. God answered his prayer, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed”. Look to Him, be faithful, and trust in His Word. He will take care of the rest.  —Rex Trogdon

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last, and our eternal home!  —Isaac Watts
