A good reminder for the days we are living in.
Is. 40 "Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket. They are a speck of dust on the scales. All the nations are as nothing before Him. It is He who reduces rulers to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. Those who wait on the Lord will gain new strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Run your race faithfully. God is in sovereign control of all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjF59VB0h6g ... See more

Readers are leaders. And, could it be that we need to hear more of these kinds of truths nowadays?

I hope this is never said of my (Linc’s) preaching!

A New Year's declaration from 300+ yrs. ago.

A New Year's Resolution (By Matthew Henry: 1662-1714) a British minister and author. His was a surrendered life whose trust in a sovereign God was unshakeable.

"My times are in Your hand!"
(Psalm 31:15)
"Firmly believing that my times are in God's hand, I here submit myself and all my affairs for the ensuing year, to the wise and gracious disposal of God's divine providence.
Whether God appoints for me . . . .
health or sickness,
peace or trouble,
comforts or crosses,
life or death--
may His holy will be done!
All my time, strength, and service, I devote to the honor of the Lord Jesus--and even my common actions.
It is my earnest expectation, hope, and desire, my constant aim and endeavor--that Jesus Christ may be magnified in me.
In everything I have to do--my entire dependence is upon Jesus Christ for strength.
And whatever I do in word or deed, I desire to do all in His name, to make Him my Alpha and Omega.
I have all from Him--and I would use all for Him. If this should prove a year of affliction, a sorrowful year to me--I will fetch all my supports and comforts from the Lord Jesus and stay myself upon Him, His everlasting consolations, and the good hope I have in Him through grace.
And if it should be my dying year--then my times are in the hand of the Lord Jesus.
And with a humble reliance upon His mediation, I would venture into the eternal world looking for the blessed hope. Dying as well as living--Jesus Christ will, I trust, be gain and advantage to me.
Oh, that the grace of God may be sufficient for me, to keep me always a humble sense of my own unworthiness, weakness, folly, and infirmity--together with a humble dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ for both righteousness and strength."
