Think of the past year. God was there, wasn’t he? I think it is fair to say we were all blindsided by Covid-19. As hard as it may be for many to believe it, God was there every step of the way for us in 2020. This past year was stained by the evil that so rampantly corrupts this world—violence, racism, the pandemic, the election—and it’s easy to get wrapped up and consumed in all of it. Or we turn away and distract ourselves from it. As Christians, we have a third option: living in the present and trusting God about the future. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that in Jesus, we are new creations! As a believer in Jesus, the old me is gone. As a follower of Jesus, you are new! You don’t have to wait for 2021–you are new today. God calls you to live out that new you. When you let go of that old you, you’ll find that we have so much to look forward to in the future with God walking with us every step of the way.
