Even in Jesus’ most trying hour, He still attended to the needs of those under his care. As the oldest son in His family, He was responsible for His mother.

John 19:27 And He said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.

He made sure that she had someone to care for her. When we go through trails and pain, we usually think only about ourselves. But in Jesus, we see the example of how to endure with sensitivity to both others’ needs as well as our own. If you are in the midst of a time adversity, ask Jesus to help you see the needs of others around you. Pay special attention to the elderly in your family and honor them by making sure they are cared for during difficult times. (Do not neglect doing good)

Ephesians 6:2-3 NKJV

² “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: ³ “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.(NKJV)

A New Year’s Poem for Christians

Instead of making a New Year’s resolution
Consider committing to a biblical solution
Your promises are easily broken
Empty words, though earnestly spoken
But God’s Word transforms the soul
By His Holy Spirit making you whole
As you spend time alone with Him
He will change you from within

— Mary Fairchild

Just One Request

Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing—
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.

I want to know Thy guiding voice,
To walk with Thee each day.
Dear Master make me swift to hear
And ready to obey.
And thus the year I now begin
A happy year will be—
If I am seeking just to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
