Confidence for the New Year

Resting in His sufficiency I have everything I need to walk confidently into the New Year.
Following Him I will be on the right path.
Focusing on Him I will not be side-tracked.
Thinking of Him I will not be overwhelmed by chaos around me.
Trusting Him I will not be afraid.
Loved by Him I am secure.
Led by Him I am safe.
Listening to Him I have joy!
Hallelujah!
What a Savior!
Fanny Crosby wrote of this assurance in the Hymn: All the Way My Savior Leads Me.

"All the way my Savior leads me: What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy, who thro' life has been my guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate'er befall me, Jesus doe-eth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me, cheers each winding path I tread.
Gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps my falter, and my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me; Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song thro' endless ages: Jesus led me all the way."

Thankfully placing my confidence in the unfailing Lord Jesus Christ,
Ruth
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8
