Thankful in ALL things!

Now that the holidays are behind us, we can take a few moments to reflect on the past year and remember God's faithful promise of blessing.

Even with the passing of our loved ones, we can see in the birth of newborn babies the loving hand of God!

HE has ordered the symphony of life in such a way that from birth to death, we can know that HE is God.

Through the events of the past, we must give HIM thanks!

The WORD tells us that in all things, God has a plan and a purpose.

As we continue to fellowship with HIM, we learn more each day about those plans and purposes.

Just as we desire the best for our children and loved ones, God desires even better for HIS children.

Looking forward with anticipation that we will strengthen our relationship with God and others, we must give thanks to God and pray for future blessings.

1 John 5:

(13)I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

(14)This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

(15)And if we know that he hears us–whatever we ask–we know that we have what we asked of him.

We can be assured of this, God desires to bless us with even greater exploits than we can ever hope or ask for.

In the year ahead, commit to give thanks for All things and just as Jesus grew in wisdom and knowledge of HIS Father, we also desire to imitate HIM!

To God be Glory and Honor!

HE Alone is Worthy!!

A Mighty Fortress is our God!!!

HIS Praise will Forever be on my lips!

Amen
