I wish a happy New Year to all my readers Just think, the year 2026 has never happened before. What exciting things it might hold.
The Israelites had hope that they would be freed from the bondage of the Egyptians. It was in hope that they also travelled hoping they would reach the promised land, though disobedience dashed that hope. The disciples waited in the upper room for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Christians through out the decades have waited in hope for the return of Jesus.
This is a hope that will not be dashed. Most of the time these people had hope because they had read the scriptures and believed what they read. In 2026 we too can have hope because we have the same scriptures and more, the same God and the same promises. Our God is faithful, He will care for us throughout this year. Therefore we have hope.
The world may struggle around us, nations be at war, poverty, natural disasters happen but our God is faithful. He is walking beside us.
Green pastures are before me which yet I have not seen,
Blue skies will soon be o’er me where the dark clouds have been,
My hope I cannot measure, my path to life is free,
My Saviour has my treasure and He will walk with me.
