We are into the New Year.  We want to get started off on the right foot.  Today is not about past failures or achievements by which we can either build on or build from; but what is ahead of us, just around the corner, just coming into view.  We are not talking about works righteousness but works of righteousness.  Meaning, things we do by God’s grace and for God’s glory.  As we start 2022, remember, “onward and upward and not backward and downward”.
