No matter how many years God allows this earth to exist before He ends it (2 Peter 3:10), as long as there are sinful and ungodly people living on this sphere called earth, there will always be murder, mayhem, and madness. But thanks to God's abundant mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:15-16), there will also be "more." What is the "more" you ask?
Dear reader, isn’t it great to remember Who is really in control (Daniel 4:17,25; Acts 17:22-25) and that "the Word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Peter 1:25). With these thoughts in mind, let us daily thank God for the "more" — and purpose in our hearts to have a great New Year, 2015 in the Lord!
