Another Years End

Fear Not !

  Isaiah 41:10

The disciples of Jesus encountered a stormy experience. They were on the Sea of Galilee when a wind storm whipped up (Mark 6:48). The storm was so violent that despite being experienced fishermen who knew the lake well, they feared for their lives. But Jesus walked out to them and saved them.

No one can predict with certainty how stormy the New Year will be. We do know, though, that everyone will face storms. But we who have the Lord Jesus have our future securely moored to Him. Jesus, who did not fail us in the past, will not fail us in future.

Lewis Edgar Jones aptly described our situation in his old hymn:

I’ve anchored in Jesus, the storms of life I’ll brave;

I’ve anchored in Jesus, I’ll fear no wind or wave.

I’ve anchored in Jesus, for He has power to save;

I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages!

How will you fare in the storms of the 2025 ?

If you are anchored in Jesus, you have nothing to fear.
