We face another year. Just what
it will bring us we do not know;
I but we can face it with assurance
and with faith if we face it with
Christ.
If we are to meet the crises of
the coming year our character
must be founded on the rock, Je
sus Christ. If we hr,ve allowed
hypocrisies or prejudices or fears
en t e r our lives the past year all
j tjjggg are b e repented of and
behind .What goal shall we
j j g j r( j ourse i ves t 0 attain in the com
j ng y ear ? a bund£nce of mater
ial possessions, but the abundant
life—a life rich in devotion, love
J and service,
; Will we be wise and faithful in
I our stewardship of the time that
j God? com es Facing as a gift this from question, the hands perhaps of
we would do well to look back ov
er the P ast Y ear and £sk ourselves
how wise our use of it has been.
| Have we grown in grace and in
the knowledge of Christ during the
past year? Would we be glad to
g ive an accounting of our steward
ship to our Lord? More respons
ibility is the best reward of right
stewardship.
Whatever failure the past year
jjiay have written into the record,
let us here highly resolve that the
coming year shall find us faithful
stewards of its opportunities for
growth and service.
