HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD AND PROSPEROUS YEAR

THOUGHT:  IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

Many times we wish or pray that we could change - redo the things that we did today, yesterday  or even the day before. No one can go back into history and change time. We are not in the Outer limits or Twilight Zone. Time is not always on our side - but God is.

David, the king, the shepherd boy, the man after God's own heart said, "My times are in thy hand...

Too many of us - it may seem as though we did not have enough time to finish the things we started last year in 2010, but God knows about it. We accomplished as much as he allowed us to. We may plan our way but God order our steps, according to the bible.

Many of us want:
A new car - better living conditions - a better and prosperous job or maybe a larger bank account. Remember that we cannot put our trust in any of these things- but we can put it in God. These are material things, yes we need them, but we need God more. There is no salvation in material things.


Deuteronomy 8:18

But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Remember that God is the one who gives us a stable mind, a healthy body and the activity of all our limbs - enabling us to get wealth; he also did this for our ancestors.


***WE ARE BETTER THAN WE USE TO BE, NOT AS WORSE AS WE COULD BE, AND STRIVING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST.



NEW YEAR RESOLUTION


James 4:15

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

When we make our New Year's resolution lets not leave God out. He knows what things we have need of  before we ask him, Matthew 6:8.


John 14:14

If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it.


John 15:7

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.


Matthew 7:7 & 8

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.


God said, "The thoughts he has toward us is:  plans of peace and not of evil, to give us hope, prosperity and a future."


Let us plan to be in the will of God - until we meet again - soon.
