Happy NEw Year to ALL... =)

Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. --Joshua 1:9

The old year's problems and struggles become a dim memory when we think of getting a fresh start.

It must have been something like that for the Israelites who stood with Joshua and looked at the new era ahead of them (Joshua 1:1-9). Behind them were 40 years of wandering in the desert. Ahead was a land of milk and honey. And best of all, they had God's promise that He would be with them.

As we stand with our back to the past 12 months and our face toward the new year, we can have hope because we too can be sure of God's help. That makes the prospect of a new year worth celebrating! --Dave Branon


Though I know not what awaits me--
What the future has in store,
Yet I know that God is faithful,
For I've proved Him oft before. --Anon.

We can trust our all-knowing God for the unknown future.
