Happy New Year to you my friends. God's Word, the Bible, is filled with promises, assurances, and wisdom for us. It's God's way of speaking to us, a guidebook for our life. We aren't going to know him better and know His will for our life unless we read it, and spend time with Him in prayer.
I've pulled some of Karen's beautiful WORDart from Papercraft Memories and added them to my vintage images/photography. A compilation of a few scriptures to think on as we begin another year.
The verse above is from Psalm 118:8 ~ Oh, how much better to trust in the Lord, than man. God will NEVER let us down and He ALWAYS keeps His word.
This next scripture graphic features John 16:33 and reminds us that God knows we have trials and tribulation. He hasn't forgotten us in times of despair.
In Psalm 3:3, God promises to be a shield for us, a protector.
He'll lift our head when we can't do it in our own strength.
In Revelation 21:5, God promises to make things NEW. 
And... in 2 Corinthians 5:17, God promises to those who put their trust in Him,
a
new life, eternal life. The former things behind, forgiveness of sin.
A joy like we've never known, contentment, peace, eternal security.
Please join me as we begin 2013 and renew and/or begin your commitment to God by spending daily time in THE book (the Bible) and time in prayer. I can't promise you a trouble free life, but I can promise you the troubles will be easier to face.
