Close Out #RTTBROS #Nightlight
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecc 3:1
As the end of another year approaches, it is wise to take time to reflect and "close the books" on the past 12 months. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Just as a business closes out its financial records at year's end, we too should close out the year spiritually and emotionally.
We must close the book on past regrets, failures and sins, seeking God's forgiveness and asking Him to "blot out my transgressions" (Psalm 51:1, 9). We should also close out this year with gratitude, echoing the psalmist's refrain to "forget not all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2). A thankful heart lifts our eyes from the difficulties of the past year to the eternal truths of God's faithfulness and sufficiency.
As we tally our spiritual account, we can confidently affirm with Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7). Any shortcomings are covered by God's grace.
The new year lies ahead like unwritten pages in a book. Let us follow Isaiah's example and say "Behold, I will do a new thing" (Isaiah 43:19). As we close the books on this past year, may we open our hearts to all God has planned for 2024, trusting in His perfect timing and purposes.
