Now its from, 'Happy Christmas', to 'Happy New Year',one thing we do know,that none of us know what the year will bring forth,what changes will come into our lives.The fact is that life will always have an uncertainy about it.nothing can change that.Many people would like to know what lies ahead,but its not possible and mybe that's for best.If we are Christians we are very fortunate,because we have the Lord Jesus with us come what may,and that does make all the difference.Let us consider an Old Testament saint Joshua,Moses had died,he towers over history,one of the greatest men who ever lived.God gave him the task to bring Israel out of Egypt and it came to pass,and so started the journey towards the promised land,the journey took 40 long years.Imagine taken over the leadership from Moses,to say the least it would have been very challenging. So God speaks to him,telling him,'As I was with Moses,so I will be with you' (Joshua 1 v5)likewise whatever the new year holds for us He will not change,Matthew Henry says,'Moses is dead but the Master is not.'As Joshua would lead Israel God says,'Be strong and courageeous.Do not be afraid;do not be discouraged,for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go'(Joshua 1 v 9) As these words were spoken to Joshua ,they are now being spoken to you and to me.
'Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand'
