STOP AND THINK New Year's Eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe . . . and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. (Hamilton Wright Mabie, American essayist, editor, and critic)
It’s true, isn’t it? Except for the revelry and parties New Year’s Eve is like every other night. There are just six hours between 6:00 p.m. and midnight—and six hours from then until 6:00 a.m. The earth continues its revolutions; there will still be just 24 hours in the day and seven days in the week. These constants should remind us of the God who created time—and us.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1)
