2008 is already history and another year lies ahead, a year into which we now enter with gratitude for God’s sustaining grace over the past 12 months. 2009 is a year upon which we have yet to write another chapter of our history, and as we press on with new goals, both temporal and eternal, we do so with the prayer for ourselves and for you, that this will be a year inspired with fresh faith; a year in which feeble knees will be strengthened; a year in which we will find our delight in those things that are eternal. May we daily place our lives into the security of God’s hands, trusting in His promises, confident that His Word will never fail. And in the words of a Puritan’s prayer,

God, give us a hope that makes us not ashamed, a love that excites to holy obedience, a joy in You that is our strength…Help us to submit our preferences to Your wisdom and will, resign our enjoyments if You should require it as our absolute Proprietor and best Friend…May we know the blessedness of those whose strength is in You and in whose hearts are the highways to heaven.
