Time…there never seems to be enough of it. If 2020 taught us anything, it was that a pandemic can stop us in our tracks and make us slow down even when we don’t want to. I saw so many posts on social media that touted how 2021 was going to save us all from 2020. Folks couldn’t wait for 2020 to end and wished for 2021 to be the savior of all that is wrong in the world. As 2021 approached, it gave many hope that this too shall pass. Well, the first full week of 2021, particularly in Washington, DC, showed us something different.
There is no new year that can save us. There is no person (or president) on this earth who can save us. Only Jesus Christ has that power. For those of us who are followers of Jesus know that this earth is not our home. We live in a broken, messed up world filled with broken, messed up people. We can’t do this on our own.
So while time didn’t stop and everything didn’t magically get better when we flipped the page on a new year, it did allow us, or me anyway, to slow down and reflect on how I spend my time, to look at what’s really important, and maybe more importantly, what’s not.
I agree, It’s time to anchor our hope in Jesus alone. I love how you use this time to reflecton your own time. I think when we feel stessed about what is going on around us, we can focus more on what we can do to change in our own lives! Your neighbor at FMF
Amen! Our hope is not of this world. I am so thankful for the peace that only Jesus can bring.
I am very grateful our hope is in Christ and not us mortals 😊 have a blessed 2021. Visiting from fmf #6
Spend time on what is important & forget about the rest!
Amen! And again I say Amen. Blessings.
