"But the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of Heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year." Deuteronomy 11:11,12
Today, dear friends we stand upon the verge of the unknown. There lies before us the new year and we are going forth to possess it. Who can tell what we shall find? What new experiences, what changes shall come, what new needs shall arise? But, here is the cheering, comforting, gladdening mesage from our Heavenly Father, " The Lord thy God careth for it". " His eyes are upon it away to the ending of the year."
To quote W.E.B. DuBois, 'And yet not a dream, but a mighty reality- a glimpse of the higher life, the broader possibilities of humanity, which is granted to the man who, amid the rush and roar of living, pauses four short years to learn what living means.' Have you got a clear understanding of the quote? Go thrugh again, you'll get it for sure. :)
All our supply is to come from the Lord. The land is a land of hills and valleys. It is not all smooth nor all down hill. It is the hill difficulty that drives us to the throne of grace and brings down the shower of blessings. We cannot tell what loss and sorrow and trail are doing. TRUST only. The Father comes near to take our hand and lead us on our way today. It shall be a good, blessed new year!
Well, with God's grace I could welcome ma new year 2010 with praise and worship that we had in Church(what most Christians call the wholenight prayer). During the occassion, the Pentecostal Churches and most Born-Again and Baptists Churches provide each members present in the meeting with a promise verse for the welcoming year. So, the verse which I've got is from the books of Isaish 43 verse 2; "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you".
I praise the Lord for the verse provided to me. It is the promise which i can keep the whole year and hence it has comforted me about my coming days. I wish al a very blessed year 2010. he he...enjoy...
