Dear Young Christian:

The year is almost over, and, as we mentioned at the beginning of this calendar, two decades of this century have slipped quickly by. While a good many of my readers were born in this present century, yet, for someone like myself, the year 2,000 doesn’t seem that far back. It just seems like the other day that many were worried about Y2K and what would happen in the new millennium.

It’s good to look in three directions:

1. Look back and remember the Lord’s goodness.

“And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee” (Deuteronomy 8:2).

2. Look up and be encouraged.

“O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up” (Psalm 5:3).

“Looking unto Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2).

3. Look ahead and rejoice.

“Rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:2).

“Looking for that blessed hope” (Titus 2:13).

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
