At North Hills, we sing a song entitled "Just for Today." The lyrics to the chorus are as follows: May my steps be worship, may my thoughts be praise, may my words bring honor to your name...

The question that hovers over us as we start 2010 is, "On what basis am I going to live each day in this new year? Will I accept the gift of God that is waiting for me every day, fresh from His hand, a gift of forgiveness, of righteousness already mine, of a relationship in which He is mine and I am His, and in which I therefore have provided for me all I need each day?" If we live 2010 on this basis, this will be a year in which our lives will be characterized by peace, fragrance, and beauty.

May you live each "today" of 2010 in the fullness of God.
