NEW YEAR - WILL OF GOD
NEW YEAR - WILL OF GOD
"Boast not thyself of tomorrow;
for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."
Proverbs. 27:1
"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
1 John 2:17
Obedience to the will of God is of supreme value and
is our only safety in the New Year!
Obedience to the will of God is of supreme value and
is our only safety in the New Year!
A year untried before me lies.
What it shall bring of strange surprise,
Of joy, or grief, I cannot tell;
But leave it all with Love Divine.
"And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
was well watered every where...Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan;
and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain,
and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked
and sinners before the LORD exceedingly" (Genesis 13:10-13).
Happy New Year
Throughout the New Year, and each step of the way,
May Christ be your portion, your joy and your stay.
With God's precious precepts your daily delight
To lead and encourage in paths that are right.
"The Lord is my Shepherd," how precious the word!
He'll lead in green pastures, His promise is heard.
"Beside the still waters"--what comfort and rest!
What peace there is found upon Jesus' breast.
His "goodness and mercy," each day may you prove,
His comforting presence, His infinite love!
With richest compassions, each morning anew,
May multiplied mercies be showered on you!
"My cup runneth over," His grace so abounds,
That fullest enjoyment in Jesus is found.
"The Lord is my portion," this may your soul say,
And you will be happy each step of the way.

If you are a good man or woman of God,
do not wonder what lies ahead in the New Year.
Do not be confused or afraid.
It is a matter of obedience to God's will
because God is in control.
You will be energized by God's power
when you trust in grace while you obey in faith.
Rest in God's sufficient power.
