What will 2007 bring for you?
Will it bring anxiety and fear? Will you blush or perhaps continue to have panick attacks? Will ignorant or cruel people laugh at you or stare? Will you cry, be sick to your stomach, be ashamed? Will you be rejected, provoked, dismissed? I promise all of you that you will!
So then, let us be of good cheer! Do your worst world! There's nothing more that you can do than you already have and despite your best efforts I am still found. Did you humiliate me in front of those I love? Yes! Did you make me panick in front of that person I adore? Yes! Did you gather together a host and bear down on me as a ferocious storm? Yes! And yet I am still found.
The whole fury of our anxieties I am sure that all of us have felt this last year may well have nearly broken your hearts. I am sure though, that although I don't know you personaly that the worst of it is over for you if you look from the standpoint of objectivity. What more can our anxieties do? Very little! There will certainly be new incidences of fear and or cruelty but the great object of our fear what ever that may be for you will certainly have nothing new to offer. If you are worrying about 2007 and becoming worse than you already are then be of good cheer because I promise you almost everything that is thrown at you will be the same old muck as before. Nothing that you haven't already known well and survived. Our weary wanderings are over. Never again will anxiety strike so much fear into you and create so much disquietude as it did at the first, for it cannot. For now you know what is happening, there's no great mystery anymore. There's no ghost to terrify you in the dark or demon hiding behind every corner because your thoughts now are more rational. You have anxiety you're not a leper.
Let us banish every fearful thought, and rejoice with exceeding great joy, in the prospects that this year will bring! A part of the host will this year be exposed to more than others and if this should fall to our lot, there is no reason why this New Year’s message should not still be true. There are many battles ahead but for those who undaunted by fear persevere there is a land flowing with milk and honey. The fierce Amelikites will be long gone and only unbelief shudders at the Jordan which still rolls between us and that lovely land. so let us rest assured that we have already experienced more ills than future anxiety at its worst can cause us and lets move forward and go on to our victory.
I wish all of you the very best for 2007 and I pray that God will be a God of miracles for you personaly this year no matter how insignificant you may believe you are.
God Bless,
Apollos
