Tread Softly

Tread softly as you walk through this coming year.

New days mark easily leaving ones direction unclear.

To walk into a future without Christ is a fearful thing,

I would not want to risk His guidance for anything.

Wayward decisions leave marks so hard to erase

Then shame draws you away from His loving face.

‘Tis better to start the New Year as you mean to go on,

Putting God’s word first, and trusting in His Son.

Hand in hand you can then face the coming year.

Come wind or storm face challenges without fear.

It is so secure to know that what e'er you face

Nothing will defeat you with God’s amazing grace!

Ephesians 2:6-9 “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not of works, so that no one can boast.”   NIV
