A new year
(Arthur Pink)
"Go forward!" Exodus 14:15
Is not this a timely word for each of us as we enter into, and journey through, a new year?
We need to clearly realize that there is no such thing as remaining stationary in the spiritual life. If we do not progress--we inevitably retrograde. How that solemn fact should search our hearts!
Christian friend, your history this year will be either one of going forward--or backsliding. This new year will mark either an increased fruitfulness in your soul and life, to the glory of Him whose name you bear--or increased leanness and barrenness, to His reproach. It will witness either a growing in grace--or a decline in your spirituality. It will record either an increased love for the Word, use of the Throne of Grace, strictness of walk and closer communion with Christ--or a growing coldness and a following of Him afar off!
"Go forward!" Exodus 14:15

Thank you, Rev. Kekel, for the encouraging words. God has given us a new year as an opportunity for us to be our very best.
