“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” – Psalm 37:4
2020 has really been an interesting year. While there has been a lot of negativity associated with this year, there have also been a great number of blessings that I have experienced.
Here are a few of the wonderful things that have happened to me in 2020.
- Read through the Bible and deepened my relationship with the Lord
- Healed family relationships
- Mended friendships
- Made new friends
- Became healthier and embarked on a new career as a health and wellness coach
Here are a few verses that have supported me in my life journey in 2020.
- Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
- Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
- Psalm 37:5 – “Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
- Psalm 19:14- “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”
When I reflect on 2020, I will remember the faithfulness of my God, the love of my family, and the joy of friendship. I will remember how wonderful it is to be in the house of the Lord, and to worship with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I will remember that I am kept firmly in the hand of God regardless of what is happening in the world, and my future is secure with Him.
I will always remember the good things in my life in the year 2020, and I will look forward to a wonderful 2021.
When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done.
(from “Count Your Blessings” by Johnson Oatman, Jr.)
“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
