2017 is in few days,
Let's take a moment to reflect,
If God remove His mercy from his dealings with us, with the way we live our lives in 2016, can we make it to 2017?

Let's draw out two inferences from here.
* Only His mercy could have kept us this far, so we ought to thank Him for his grace and mercy, despite Economic recession, we never experience price hike on his mercy.

*  Much more than anything, God have much interest in our lives. Romans 12:1 says "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."(NKJV). Then shouldn't we live a holy life? Of course, we should. We ought not to misuse the grace given, for the grace is not to sin more but to help us live without sin. Titus 2:11-12 gives us a detailed explanation. "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions..." (NIV)

2016 is going in few days,
2017 is coming in few days,
But much more than anything, He desired our lives.
Let's resolve to live a holy life in 2017 and it's well with us.
