Haggai 2:15-23

In ancient times, a signet ring was used as a means of identification. Instead of signing their name, people would press their ring into hot wax or soft clay to make their mark. As God’s children, we too make a mark on the world as we spread the gospel, share His grace through loving our neighbors, and work to end oppression.

Each of us has our own unique stamp that reveals how we’re created in God’s image and expresses our particular mix of gifts, passions, and wisdom. It’s our call and privilege to act as this signet ring in God’s world.

How will you put the stamp on the New Year? Will you dive into scripture or continue down social media's path? Will you memorize a new hymn or verse of scripture or a new rock and roll song? Which book will you raise to read daily: one of the LORD or one of the world? Our daily decisions rule our lives. May we make the right ones. I pray each of you find your path, a church you can feel welcome in and begin a new journey with your LORD and Savior in 2017.

Hugs Prayers and God bless

Thank you, Izzy, for this beautiful devotional...and for your prayers for all us to grab hold of that peace we can only find through focusing on HIM.

What a boring world this would be if we were all the same, no variety! We are blessed to have our own unique identities, yet we are still made in God's image, having the same traits as He has. We are given the opportunity to learn to use those traits and become a better person. One step at a time, grace to grace.
