THE LORD IS THE SAME, EVEN IN 2025!!!

The world as we see it, appears to be progressing upward, but in reality, it is going down pretty fast. The progress we made is “superficial” and does not make real difference to the quality of life in general. What is missing in the world is, love, joy, peace and harmony in all our affairs. A glance at 2024 would reveal the lack of love, joy, peace and harmony in the world, which are of far more significance, than any material progress.
– “6 The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” – Isaiah 40:6-8

What happened in 2024, may not greatly differ from, what may happen in 2025. The chances are, it may get worse. Many times, we may wonder “Where is God in the midst of all this?” The LORD has not gone anywhere. He is still working, and is still on His throne. God is no man, to abandon His people.  In the midst of all the storms and struggles that are around us, the LORD promises His children, not only, His LOVE, JOY, PEACE and HARMONY – much more than that, and the very reason for it, His PROTECTION and PROVIDENCE, and above all, His very PRESENCE.
– “10 Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him. 11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.” – Isaiah 40:10-11

Dear friends, brothers and sisters, the One who promised us, is faithful and trustworthy, and He will carry us through, in 2025 too. We need fear nothing. The LORD goes with His people.
– “27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the LORD, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.” – Isaiah 40:27-28

The strength that the LORD gives us enough, to help us through anything. He is the All Sufficient God! He will take care of us, and all that concerns us.
– “29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:29-31

May we place our trust, and out confidence, in the LORD, who led us thus far. Let us not worry about the storms in the past, and those which may hit us in the future. Let us look to our LORD, who is our help and our hope. He is the One, who will guide us through 2025. Wishing you and your family, A Very Happy and Blessed New Year!
– “11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.” – Psalms 65:11
