We’ve just begun a journey to an unknown destination—the land of the New Year. Since it’s a different land, we must be prepared for new experiences and be willing to do things differently—if we’re to be successful in the land of the New Year. We know not what will happen on our way. There’ll be ups and downs, mountaintops and some deep valleys. But, as with God’s ancient people in their journey to the Promised Land, we’ve been assured: “The land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys,…[but] the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year” (Deuteronomy 11:10-12). So, fear not. God will guide you through this land of the New Year—every step of the way. Safe trip!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
