How do we begin the new year? We have been perfectly positioned to join Jesus in His great plans for 2026

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness!!!” Col 1:13

This is an accomplished fact,

a certainty that we are no longer

the children of the devil,

bound to sin,

controlled by the prince of the power of the air,

but have been freed by the blood of the Lamb!

“…and He BROUGHT us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we HAVE redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Col. 1:12-14).

What a powerful statement:

“…in whom we have redemption,”

…not “I hope so” but “I know so!”

What a wonder,

what a privilege,

what an astounding,

unbelievable,

too-good-to-be-true outcome you have given us, Heavenly Father.—we are pardoned,

adopted,

brought into the Kingdom

and made co-heirs with Jesus and with the saints.

We live in the light,

are dearly loved,

delighted in,

doted on,

and deeply cared for.

We have a future with you in 2026 as well as a daily walk,

for You give total provision,

complete protection,

loving direction,

wise counsel,

consistent correction,

unswerving goodness

and growing grace.

Help us to rise up to join you in all of what you have for us to do in 2026!
