I’ve seen things floating around social media about New Year’s. The one that I have seen the most is that you don’t need to be concerned about people posting all the things that they did in 2023, but to that you are doing good that you made it to the end of 2023. I think you are more than doing good, you should celebrate! Some times there are things against you that make every day life movements harder than normal; and that is when celebration is so important! You didn’t just survive, you withstood what was against you!
One of the great things that I heard as a teenager that has stuck with me, is that when we pray we don’t always realize everything that is against us! Sometimes we don’t see things and we think nothing is happening; but we don’t realize all the things that our prayers have kept us safe from. That is huge when you think about it!
Think about a toddler with their parents close by. With having had four toddlers in my home in the past, I can tell you that I saved them from many, many things that they had absolutely no idea about! They couldn’t see that I kept them safe; but I did. They couldn’t see that they had victory over troubles that were in their path; but they were!
Tonight I am thankful for all the every day victories that we do and do not see! Sleep in victory tonight and realize that you have many more victories than you realize!
