Stepping into 2023 with Fresh Eyes

As we look back on 2022, we are amazed by God’s faithfulness and love. We thank Him for the blessings that He placed in our hands that we may continue to work as He called each one of us.

This new year, new challenges will also come our way. But amid all the challenges, the Lord says to you, “Do not fear.” You saw My faithfulness at the height of the pandemic. You shall see the same faithfulness in whatever challenge that will come your way. Have faith!

So, as we step into 2023, get excited about what God is about to do. Get ready to step into 2023 with fresh eyes!

Remember the story of Elisha in 2 Kings 6. When His servant came out early in the morning and saw the Syrian army surrounding them, he became so fearful and went to his master Elisha and said, “Oh no! What shall we do?” Unflinching, Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” God opened the servant’s eyes and saw hills full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.

We don’t see it, but the Lord sends His angels to surround us and to assure us that we will be kept safe. Therefore, you and I should never be afraid. This new year, I pray that God gives you fresh eyes—to see beyond the difficulties, to see beyond the ordinary!

So do not fear for 2023. Let’s focus our eyes on the Lord, the author and finisher of our faith. Get excited to continue serving Him because He will do wonders before your eyes. Ask Him for fresh eyes to see, and He will give them to you.

Have a blessed new year!
