Happy New Year is kind of hard to say in these troubled times. I wish that I could predict that 2012 would be a happy new year but with all that is going on in our world today that would be a tough prediction to make. What I can say to you is, ‘be blessed’. The Bible offers words of comfort, hope and even joy for those who believe in Him. We have this assurance through His birth, He came to save the world and through His death and resurrection that one day we are going to be with Christ.
So my friends continue to pray that our land will turn from its wicked ways. “Consider it all joy, when you encounter trails knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 2-4.
Blessed is a man who preserves under trial, for once he has been approve he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love and serve Him. James verse 12. This is our hope, our joy – our peace so reflect on these words and be blessed.
