How’s your year been? Has it been a good, or so-so, or bad, or terrible year?
What are the criteria do you use to evaluate whether 2023 was a good or bad, successful or failure year for you?
In 2024 should we aim to repeat whatever we consider good or to avoid what’s bad?
The Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, once said that “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man … Change is the only constant in life.”
As Jesus-followers our goal is to pursue what matters most in light of eternity. The vocation of God’s people as Jesus-like image bearers is to implement His purposes for the benefit of the wider world. So the fundamental truth that guides our daily living is this: life is not about us getting the outcome we want but God working out His will with us in and through whatever circumstances.
