Hi friend,\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Training Nationals for Nationals<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>in integrity and skills (Psalm 78:72)<\/b><\/p>\n

We welcome the New Year in retrospection:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor as much as the LORD has blessed me in times past<\/span>\u201d (Joshua 17:14).<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, we must confess that truly, in blessing, God has blessed us!<\/b><\/p>\n

He has blessed us in the\u00a0common blessings<\/span>\u00a0of rain and sunshine, health and strength, loved ones and friends, and His loving care and supply.\u00a0\u00a0As Christians, as His children, we have the privilege and joy to come to our Heavenly Father with our joys and sorrows, our ups and downs, and our trials and burdens and He has been with us, in us and for us.<\/b><\/p>\n

He has blessed us with\u00a0His promises and presence<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0He has guided us with His ever-present Eyes and His all-powerful Hands, in the brightness of our life or in our darkness, and in the calms or in the storms.<\/b><\/p>\n

Then there are the\u00a0special blessings<\/span>\u00a0that belong to each of us that others have not.\u00a0While God\u2019s love is strong and sure for all, He has a special way and blessing for each and that each of us knows well.<\/b><\/p>\n

Perhaps, you might have been disciplined; but then you have been lovingly helped in repentance, restoration and growth.\u00a0\u00a0In His love, He has disciplined you for your good.<\/b><\/p>\n

Perhaps, you might have been tried; but then, you have been graciously sustained.\u00a0\u00a0His grace has been sufficient.\u00a0\u00a0You may have freedom from trials; then you have much cause to thank Him.\u00a0\u00a0The goodness of the Lord should lead us to praise and serve Him.\u00a0\u00a0We must confess in humility that we have been highly favoured and greatly loved!<\/b><\/p>\n

We are not what we hope to be, but, thank God, we are not what we used to be.\u00a0\u00a0We have not overcome every sinful urge, but sin has no dominion over us, for we are not under the law, but under His loving grace, forgiving and strengthening us.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have not seen the good LORD as HE is, but we have seen Him; and the joy of that sight, through His Word, prayer and worship, will never be taken from us.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, all the blessings have come from God Himself.\u00a0\u00a0Our blessings or man\u2019s blessings have been short-lived and changing.\u00a0\u00a0God\u2019s blessings are forever (I Chron. 17:27).\u00a0\u00a0And not just blessings, but blessings indeed, for that which would be \u201creal\u201d blessing would prove, in the end, to be obstacles.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, with holy wonder, gratitude and praise, we will bless the good LORD as long as we live for HE has truly blessed us.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Then with holy confidence, we can say, because HE has blessed us, HE will bless us more and better.\u00a0\u00a0So we come to Him for greater and better days ahead.\u00a0\u00a0He will refresh us with something new and fresh.\u00a0\u00a0HE promises, \u201cBehold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth.\u00a0\u00a0Shall you not know it?\u00a0\u00a0I will make even a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert\u201d (Isa. 43:18,19).\u00a0\u00a0New possibility?\u00a0\u00a0New journey?\u00a0\u00a0New relationship?\u00a0New lifestyle of sacrifice and service?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Lord, grant it and we say, Yes, LORD.\u00a0\u00a0Amen!<\/b><\/p>\n
