\nHave you ever noticed when people say, \u201cHappy New Year,\u201d they almost immediately begin talking about something \u201cold\u201d\u2014from political problems and economic woes to health or family concerns? I\u2019m not suggesting we ignore legitimate concerns but that we learn to manage them. Then we can make 2022 a happy new<\/strong> year<\/em>.<\/p>\n Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, \u201cOver a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: \u2018Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.\u2019 Since then, I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: \u2018Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.\u2019\u201d In 1970, the Nobel Prize in Literature 1970 was awarded to Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn “for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature.”<\/p>\n After extensive research, Nobel Prize winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn concluded our struggles and complexities increase when we forget God. That leads to an important question: how can we remember God?<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of allowing the world to overwhelm us with fear and distrust, we can steadfastly place our trust in the One Who is worthy<\/strong> of everything we are. God alone can free us from tyranny, torment, and dread. When we realize His gracious provision, we can face any challenge with courage and hope (see Romans 5:3-5).<\/p>\n God promises not only internal transformation but purpose: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], He is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].<\/em><\/p>\n But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him], that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting people\u2019s sins against them [but cancelling them]. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation [that is, restoration to favor with God]<\/em> (2 Corinthians 5:17-19, AMP).<\/p>\n Let\u2019s have a truly HAPPY NEW YEAR<\/strong>, enjoying God\u2019s love as one, wherever we are throughout the world! Your life matters to God!<\/p>\n\n
