ROUGH SAILING

Today's reading: Acts 27-28

"We had several days of rough sailing..." Acts 27:7 NLT

"...So everyone escaped safely ashore!" Acts 27:44 NLT

I'm not sure how your year has gone.

Maybe it's been full of prosperity, health, opportunity and growth by leaps and bounds!

Maybe, just maybe, it's been hard.

Maybe you've had some 'days of rough sailing'--or weeks, or months.

Maybe your health has gone downhill as quickly as a runaway snowball.

Maybe many good things have slipped through your fingers.

Or you've grown stagnant over the year--physically, mentally and spiritually.

Okay.

A new yearful of opportunities await you.

Let's determine, even with today and tomorrow left in this year, to look forward and not backwards.

Let's anticipate blessings.

Let's look forward to growth.

Let's prepare for being the best God has created us to be--NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES surrounding us.

Because, no matter how the year has gone, you got through it.

You have made it to this side of it.

You survived and as far as 2023 goes, have made it safely ashore 2024!
