It’s January 4 already!

Some of us bloggers and even non-bloggers adopt a word or phrase for each new year. 
I have a phrase this year. At least thus far this year.

I’m not participating.

That’s it. That’s my phrase for 2021.
It is my goal, my hope, my quest to participate NOT in the negative, non-productive, demoralizing, sin-filled practices of last year. 
And four days in I already need help to NOT participate.
To be in this world but NOT be a part of it.
To NOT think like the world.
To NOT be afraid like the world.
To NOT compromise like the world.
To live NOT like the world. 

It’s too much for us and that is why Yeshua prayed for us before He left for Heaven. See John 17: 9-26.
And He prays for us now.

Hebrews 7:25  (AMP) 
²⁵ Therefore He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God]. source
