If you are a follower of Jesus, no matter what your circumstances are right now, morning will dawn and you will escape safely to shore. As you enter a new year today, take stock of what has kept you so worried and hold those things up to the light of heaven and eternity with God. Give thanks for the good things in your life. Ask God to show you what He wants you to leave behind in 2020 and what He wants you to press on to reach in 2021. Read these words written by Paul after this storm and shipwreck, and spend some extra time with God today talking these things out with Him.
