Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Psalm 16:5
When I look back at the last seven months it seems like a hurricane occurred but instead of leaving disaster, there has been growth. I definitely have landed in a new place. Often I feel striped of all I had, and yet God has met me with His faithfulness to provide, direct and protect. The LORD has been my portion. What has happened and will happen has been warranted by Him.
The Reason for our hope is God’s Faithfulness to His People. God is committed to save for himself a people of this own. He does this not by searching for perfect paragons of virtue, but rather by reaching down to rebellious sinners and transforming them from the inside out. This is usually a slow work… but god is not in a hurry. This slow work often involves painful paths, as God strips away the things in which we have placed our trust instead of him. All along the hard road to heaven, though, the love of God draws us and drives us to Himself and will not let us go. - Duguid
I hope your 2008 has been a blessing. I pray you find great JOY and greater HOPE in the Savior who was born on CHRISTMAS.
