   The new year is now here and   God is continuing to do just as  before. He is so faithful and true, no one compares to Him. We started off the new years with fireworks at twelve a.m. and church work in the morning. The church is continuing to come together with now only finishing touches necessary to do. We we weren’t expecting to do church work when we came to visit Curtis for the new year, but were definitely willing and happy to do. Because of the humidity here, we painted all the welds and metal bars to protect them from the rust. It was definitely a reminder while painting, of how our treasures are to be laid up in heaven, where moth and rust cannot destroy…Mat.6:19-20. It has especially been a real reminder God has been showing, as I have found moth bites on one of my towels…lol. He is so good, and worthy to be lived for. Reading in Revelation7:16-17 today, its so awesome to realize God is worth everything. He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, He shows us in Revelation that He will become everything we didn’t have on earth. He is our comfort, our satisfaction, our God.  We must just continue striving unto Him in faith for His glory, for He is worthy.

Ps 1:1 ¶ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 ¶ The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

This time in being down here, God has just been giving us the opportunity to learn this first hand. It has definitely been a time of waiting, as far as getting super busy in ministry goes, but it has been such a blessing. It has seemed that in this time of waiting, we have been giving the perfect class setting of just being able to meditate on His word day and night. Seeing God’s faithfulness through His word has built in us the faith to trust in His faithfulness to bring fourth His fruit in His timing of season. He is so amazing! By taking this opportunity to meditate in these times of waiting, God just continues to encourage even more, and in the same way I want to encourage you. In the times of His call for us to be still and know He is God, obey and watch for God is here with us and is continuing to desire to use us for His good pleasure:).Praise the Lord!
