New Years Eve - Daily Devotions

December 31: From Beginning to End Lamentations 4:1–5:22 ; Romans 16:1–27 ; Proverbs 31:10–31 Endings are always difficult. But when they’re new beginnings, they’re revitalizing. At the end of Paul’s letter to the Romans , we not only see Paul the apostle, but Paul the empathetic and concerned pastor.
