New Year’s

Once in a while, what we want may differ from what God wants. Christ’s death by crucifixion was just such a case. His repeated prayers for things to be different were answered, “No.” Instead, an angel was sent to help him through it (Luke 22:43ms).

Sometime this year we may be faced with this kind of thing ourselves. The situation will be to our own disadvantage, even our own detriment, and there will likely be no angel from heaven to help us through it.

Observing these emblems here together at the beginning of this year, we pledge to God and testify to each other what we will do when that time comes.
