THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Prophesy...
The Old Testament contains many references to the future, specifically about the Savior. From the very beginning God knew the future and made provision for mankind. At Christmas we celebrated the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He came as the Messiah, Son of God, as a man to teach us by His example, to heal us, to save us from our sins. We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and in eternity. He will create a new heaven and a new earth and we will live with Him forever. Until then, His Holy Spirit comforts and guides us. Knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits us, gives us hope and courage to press on in this life, to endure, to avoid giving in to temptation. This world is but a temporary place for us. The best is yet to come. As we approach and enter 2012, it is "easy" to make resolutions (our hopeful predictions for the future) for the new year. Ask not "what can I do?", but ask, "what can God do through me?" in this new year. Look to God for your future, not a fortune-teller.
"But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
I Corinthians 2:9
I Corinthians 15:42-58... God promises us that as He came back to life after death, so our perishable bodies will be exchanged for heavenly bodies to live with Christ eternally.
Happy New Year and Have a blessed week...
