Good Morning World, and Happy New Year! What a great way to start a new year, and begin the first Sunday of the year; with thoughts of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord! There are many thoughts I would like to share, yet it is the reading for today that says it best! I find God's word always says it best!
Psalm 42
Interestingly enough this chapter starts with the title - "Book 2". We are starting a new year with a new book, and a renewed sense that God is going to do something wonderful this year!
"As the hart (deer) pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God!"
What a way to start the new year! The soul longing, seeking, searching, thirsting. This will be a year of great change, great technology, great revival, great music, great preaching and great disaster. The only way we are going to find any direction, peace, comfort, sanity or success is if we train our mind, soul and body to seek after Jesus! We must thirst for Him more than we thirst for our daily bread and drink! We must thirst for Him more than we love our family! We must thirst for Him for than anything! Find you way to the Church house every opportunity you can! Find you way into the presence of God every opportunity you can! It will be your strength and strong tower. Say the Name of Jesus as a prayer of faith as often as you can! In this world where the Name of Jesus is taken in vain and used as a curse, use it rather as a blessing and prayer wherever you are and whenever you can!
Seek, Thirst, Hunger, Follow after Jesus Christ the Lord!
Yours for a blessed New Year!
