Over the past several years, I was given time to reflect the past year and look forward to the new year with verses. This year, however, I was simply out of it. I did not bother to take time to pray to God on what was to come in the near future. Luckily, the church I had attended over the year gave out Bible verses for the congregation this weekend, after having finished a two week morning prayer session.
I asked one of the pastors for a verse and the passage read as follows:
"Nehemiah said, 'Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'" Nehemiah 8:10
The exiled Israelites have come back and finish rebuilding the walls, and with the hearing of the Law of the LORD, Nehemiah declares the day holy to God. It is declared to be a day of festival where people will enjoy God.
With the coming year, the last year of my public health doctor service as for the mandatory military service substitution, I wish to enjoy the days with God, fully embracing the given time and resources. Only for the LORD, only to the LORD.
