If 2002 was one of "those" years that you began with optimism, and ended a little despondent, feeling all alone in the world, and with a couple of extra little wrinkles, and a few extra pounds. If during the year you forgot more than one important commitment… like your significant other's birthday (or your spouse's!), not to mention differences of opinion with the boss, a barely passing grade in a class, and more than one goal remained out of reach. If 2002 wasn't as great as it could have been, 2003 has arrived! Paul puts it this way, "But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14). We know the destination of our journey is a sure thing and guaranteed by Jesus Himself, "Let not your hearts be troubled" (John 14:1), is what He said, remember? When we put these two texts together, it's like hearing Jesus say: "Because I am in charge, you can take one day at a time and seize it for good in your life and the lives of those around you! Yesterday is gone forever. No sense sitting around wishing. Tomorrow is in my hands. I'm here today to hold your hand and help you make the most of it." We can certainly use that kind of positive and encouraging perspective when we get up each day of this New Year! He's ready. Let's do it! -Robson DeOliveira
