Good Morning Friends of Faith!
We come now to the last Sunday of 2012.
The year has certainly had its share of thrills, spills, and chills. We could not have forseen all that transpired. And certainly, looking into the year that is coming--we know that if history is any indication, there will be many twists and turns, mountains and valleys, on the road ahead.
With the ending of a year, and the beginning of a new year it is good to pause and reflect on our blessings, our successes, and those areas in our lives that need to improvement. A journal or a notebook are valuable helps to write down where we have been, what we have learned, and what we hope to achieve in the year ahead.
Author Os Guiness, has observed that it is in times of crises we are forced to asked, “What should we do.” He notes that deeper crises prompt the thoughtful to ask, “Where are we, and how did we get here?” But, it is in the deepest hour of crises that we are confronted with that most fundamental of all questions, “Who do we think we are?”
The palavering self-esteem crowd suppose that we are who we think we are. But those who are honest and truthful confess that knowing ourselves is most difficult, if not impossible. What then are we to do? To whom shall we go? Ah, we look to Him who is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life!”
The question that matters most is not “who do we think we are?” but “who does Christ know that we are?” Those who are wholly His are holy. Present yourselves today to be a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Him! Make 2013
your greatest year for Him!
