HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Shalom, dear reader!

In the blink of an eye, another year has just passed. Wow.

Well, for those of us who messed up or made stupid mistakes last year, thank God, He has given us another new beginning so that we can start anew. There is hope for all of us!

God's message to us for 2009 is to cry out to him in times of trouble.

'If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgement, or plague or famine, we will stand in Your presence before this Temple which bears Your Name and will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.' (2 Chronicles 20:09)

The good news is that later on in this chapter, the LORD defeated King Jehoshaphat's enemies with neither him nor his people fighting the battle! All they had to do was sing to the LORD, and He caused the enemy army to self-destruct. Then the king and his men went down to carry off the plunder, and four days later, they returned to Jerusalem a lot richer. God promises to do the same for you this year, dear reader.

So go out and face this year with your heart and mind at rest, knowing that the battle is the LORD's!

In Jesus' precious Name,
Agent Josh L.
