HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008
[Continued]

Jeremiah 29:11 (King James Version) 11 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.

Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified Bible)11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

New Years resolutions, most everyone makes them. There is One far greater than us who has made plans for us since before we were formed in our mother’s wombs.

Do you see God’s hands in your life? In every aspect of our life, He is there waiting for us to seek His will. Can you at this point say Lord I see your plans, and I will trust You?

As we start to write down our resolutions for the New Year, let us first seek Him who created us, created us in His image to do His will. As we start the New Year let this old song be:

MY PRAYER P.P. Bliss

More holiness give me
More striving within
More patience in suffering
More sorrow for sin
More faith in my Savior
More sense of His care
More joy in His service
More purpose in prayer.

More gratitude give me
More trust in the LORD
More pride in His glory
More hope in His word
More tears for His sorrows
More pain at His grief
More meekness in trials
More praise in relief.

More purity give me
More strength to o’er-come
More freedom from earth-stains
More longings for home
More fit for the kingdom
More used would I be
More Blessed and Holy
More Savior, like thee. Amen.

God’s blessings on each of you,
