Encouragement for the Days Ahead

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat;…Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of person ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,…” 2 Peter 3:10-11

My heart has been pretty overwhelmed recently with God’s amazing and wonderful goodness to me. I am so thankful for His great care for my soul that has given me peace and contentment for many years. His kindness has blessed me with the richness of family and friends in abundance. Now as I look ahead to the coming year I am filled with anticipation of what He has in store. Having spent the past couple of weeks studying some great portions of the Bible concerning the end of time, I continue to be encouraged because of the security I have in knowing God will be caring for me no matter what happens in my personal life, or in the world at large. “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 Without a doubt, rough days lie ahead of us; peace of soul can only be found in the great Sovereign of the universe.

I’m looking forward to this coming Thursday morning at 9:30 as our Ladies Bible Study comes together to discuss 2 Peter 3 and to be encouraged concerning the year ahead. See you then.
