January 5, 2025 – CountUp

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 05TH 2025, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

It’s my first #SundayScripture of 2025. Thank You for checking-in today. Thank You for supporting my ministry.

The old – 2024 – has passed on. It’s behind us. We can’t do anything about it. What’s said is said. What’s done is done. But behold – the new creation – 2025 – has come. The Lord said, “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold – I am doing a new thing.” Our God said, “I am making all things new.”

2024 was a great and life-changing year for me. I retired after a nearly 39-year military and civilian career with the USAF. I immersed myself into the new full-time retirement part of my life. I became mentally, physically, and socially active at home, museum, and church – engaging in new duties, responsibilities, and relationships at each. YES – 2024 was the greatest year of my life, but I know that God will lead me to an even greater 2025, as I continue to move closer to Him – led by his guidance, direction, and wisdom. I pray that 2025 is a greater year for you as well. God has great plans for you and I !

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
