Stay Faithful in 2015

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  and this is what was given into my heart on this year's first devotion...

NEW YEAR adjectives for the Christian:
  • faithful
  • honest
  • hard-working
  • "doer"
2 Kings 22.7
..there was no reckoning made with them (i.e., the "doers of the work" 22.5) of the money that was delivered into their hand, BECAUSE THEY DEALT FAITHFULLY."

The "doers of the work"  (22.6) were; "carpenters, builders and masons."  That is, hard working men.
Lord, would that this first day of 2015 be the first day of all, including this writer, who would be found "hard-working and faithful" in Thy "work."

As it turns out, Lord willing before the day is done, we will spend time with such folks noted above.  Folks of like "kindred-spirit" who love the Lord and are hard-working and faithful in His service.
Also, this writer can't help but note that this "50th year of her jubilee," which will end midsummer, has seen wonderful, potential additions to the family that is yet to be.

Blessed fellowship with my Lord and His people are one of life's greatest joys.  Thank you, Lord.  Truly;
 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."  (Lam 3.22, 23)
