As we enter into the BRAND NEW YEAR of 2024, believer in the Lord Jesus Christ; be assured of these timeless promises and confidently expect them to be manifested in your life and circumstances.
- GOD Himself will be GOING ahead of you into the NEW YEAR. His promise to His believing people says: "The LORD is the one who GOES ahead of you" (Deuteronomy 31:8a; NASB).
- GOD will be GOOD to you. "You [LORD] are GOOD and do GOOD" (Psalm 119:68; NASB). "God causes all things to work together for GOOD to those who love God" (Romans 8:2; NASB).
- GOD will be GRACIOUS to you. For He is the "GOD OF ALL GRACE" (1 Peter 5:10; ESV), who says: “I am GRACIOUS” (Exodus 22:27; NASB).
- GOD will be GENTLE with you in all His dealings. For He says: "I am GENTLE and humble in heart" (Matthew 11:29; NASB).
- GOD will be GENEROUS to you. He is a GENEROUS GIVER who gives and gives. "Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am GENEROUS?" (Matthew 20:15; NASB). "But in any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given him" (James 1:5; NASB).
- GOD will be your GUIDE. "This is God, our God forever and ever. He will GUIDE us forever" (Psalm 48:14; ESV). "And the LORD will GUIDE you continually" (Isaiah 58:11a; ESV).
- GOD will be your GUARDIAN. "But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and GUARD you against the evil one" (2 Thessalonians 3:3; ESV).
- GOD will be your GO-TO-PERSON. In all of your life's circumstances, God waits for you with open arms to COME TO HIM. He says: "COME TO ME, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28; NASB). Our Lord is simply saying: "I am your GO-TO-PERSON in this life."
