January, the first month of the year, gets
its name from the Roman god, Janus or Januarius, who was represented as having
two heads & two pairs of eyes, each pair looking in the opposite direction
from the other & each head facing a different direction from the other.
New Year is often stock-taking time with
business men & it is good for the Christian, too, to take stock, to look
back into the past & trace the good hand & kindness of the Lord amid
much failure on his part & to look forward to a new year of opportunity, of
privilege & responsibility.
Instead of just resolutions, he will make a
full & fresh consecration of himself & all his powers to the Lord.

1 Cor 1:9 (EHV): “God is faithful, who
called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
“As I look back over fifty years of
ministry, I recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain. But
through it all, the Lord has proven faithful, loving, and totally true to all
His promises.” - David Wilkerson.
