WHAT WILL YOU BRING?

What will the New Year bring?  We don’t know what is ahead, what difficulties might await us.  Yet, no matter what happens, we can have guidance and protection…in the form of God and His Holy Word.  In Jeremiah 29:11 we are assured, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  We cannot know what the coming year will bring, but we can determine what we will bring to the New Year.  We can bring the commitment of regular worship, the strength of knowledge of the Scripture, and the calm that comes from a childlike trust in our Heavenly Father..

 ENCOURAGEMENT

It’s easy to smile at a cheerful person, but how much greater the blessing to try to cheer up a discouraged or angry person. Joyfulness is contagious! Paul writes in his letter to the Romans (1:1-12), “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each others faith, both yours and mine.” Share your joy with others at your house of worship this week; God will smile on you!
