Looking Forward

“...for we walk by faith, not by sight.” II Cor 5:7

As we come to the end of 2008, we stand on the threshold of a new year.

These last few months, we have witnessed the downturn of our economy, we have elected a new president, we have voted on a proposition that has literally divided our state and the prospect of a quick recovery seems slim at best.

But here is the truth to hold on to - we are to walk by faith, not sight.
It’s not what we see, but who is in control.
It’s not what we think, but what He knows.
It’s not what appears to be, but what actually is.

Our God is on His throne and has all things under control. I may not see it all, nor do you, but He is not worried or dismayed.

My friend, keep moving forward. Keep your eyes on Him and He will see you through. The God we worshiped in 2008 is already in 2009, and our God is greater than any problem or situation we will face. So be strong, take courage, and let’s move into 2009 by faith and see what God is going to do.
