Where to Now?

Well, the holidays are over, and a new year is here. Where do we go to now? I remember when I was young and in grade school, January and February seemed like the bleakest months to me. It was dark when I fed the livestock before school and dark again shortly after arriving home. There were no school holidays back then in those two months and Easter break seemed an eternity away.

Now, I do not mind these months at all. January offers a fresh start to work on things that I need to address whether on a professional or personal level. As I age, I see God’s involvement in everything. I know God is in charge and this brings comfort and security to me despite the world’s rumblings of strife, tension, and unrest. I know Jesus is by my side no matter what. I worry less and simply let God be the God of my life. I am far from perfect but try every day to grow in the Lord and ask His and others forgiveness for my mistakes.

Dear friends, now is the best time ever to commit to commit yourself to God. If you have not put on Jesus by believing and obeying His gospel, please do so today. If you have secret sins in your life and are unsure of your salvation, please make the necessary corrections today. If you are hurting, in despair, or at the end of your rope, please let us know here at the Naff Avenue congregation. We will pray for you and do our best to assist you with the challenges you face.

Christians help one another and care for the lost and those in need. We desire to reflect the mercy and compassion of Jesus to our fellow man. I love this congregation and all our brothers and sisters around the world who love and obey our precious Savior.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him” (Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV).

Stay true to the Word
