A HAPPY
NEW YEAR
2012
TO YOU |
|
God can transform of trouble into
good when we place it into the hands of God.
We can say to Jesus: Master, did you win
th at battle or did I? And we hear him gently answer: why, we both did,
for my victories are your victories.
That's the kind of God we have to guide us through
the New Year--One we can trust, One in whom we can have confidence for
the future, no matter what the New Year may bring.
A French writer describes our
frustrations with this life as coming from the fact that we "have one
foot in the finite and the other in the infinite." Translation: We live
in two worlds, one bound by time with all of its limitations and the
other eternal, unlimited, full of hope.
And while you're at it, learn not to nurture your
fears. It's not for nothing that 81 different times, people are told in
the Bible FEAR NOT.
The only antidote is the perfect love of
Jesus that casts out our fear.
This new year, face your fears with the help of
another. One famous preacher says: Don't settle down to live permanently
with your fear. If you do, you will never be happy or effective. Fears
are not removed by saying, "Cut it out! Swallow your fear!" No, the
steps to take begin with facing your fear realistically. Then replace
fear with faith. Say to yourself again and again the Words
text: I trust in you, O Lord; I say you are
my God; my times are in your hands.
The only known cure for fear, one Psychologist
says, is faith. David said: I sought the Lord and he heard me; he
delivered me from all my fears. Deal with your fears
with faith and then externalize them . And get to work for Jesus!
There is no better way to use the time
of this New Year.
Here is a timely item for you..
Take time to work--it is the price of
success.
Take time to think--it is the source of power
Take time to read--it is the fountain of wisdom
Take time to worship--it is the highway to reverence
Take time to be friendly--it is the road to happiness
Take time to laugh--it helps to lift life's load
Take time for God & God's Word--it is life's only truly lasting
investment.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Rejoice :
Great Happy New year ! |
Rejoice
PHI 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
God's greeting, is to rejoice in life. God's wish is, "You
shall rejoice, you shall be happy," as scripture repeatedly says.
PSA 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
As you face a
new year, God has a plan for your life. Here are
some great verses to support that:
"The steps
of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He
delighteth in his way." (Psalm 37:23)
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them." (Ephesians2:10).
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to
give you an expected end." (Jeremiah29:11)
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way
which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine
eye." (Psalm 32:8)
God
is intensely interested in you. You are special to Him.
He wants you to be happy and fulfilled.
"May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace...that
you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit."
--Romans 15:13
"But now thus says the Lord, who created you,...He
who formed you...I have called you by name, you are
mine."
--Isaiah 43:1
Real Happiness
It is of these that I
believe the Psalmist speaks when he cries out, "Happy are those, O God,
whom thou drawest nigh to dwell in thy courts." Happy are those who walk in
the way of the Lord. Let us turn this day beyond ourselves to God who beckons us toward life's
highest joy, as in this season we begin sending one another greetings of true
happiness.
