Many times in this walk of life we can end up feeling defeated and battle worn. We can describe it at times as being tossed to and fro upon a violent sea of uncertanty. Thankfully, Christ provides His unwavering peace, as He is Lord over all storms. 

Sooner or later, we all experience some form of suffering. In the book of Job, due to Satan's accusations against God, Job endures intense suffering in order to prove that a man can still serve God even when all that he has is taken away. Will we only accept the good from God and not the bad? 

The beginning of a new year often helps remind us of our goals and our personal ambitions. It gives us a fresh start and a renewed perspective to reflect back over the past year as we embrace fresh opportunities to start over. Let us be reminded of the command that Christ has set before us to take up our cross daily and follow after Him. 

Hebrews 3:13 tells us how beneficial it is for the body of Christ to encourage one another as long as it is called today. Encouragement is defined as "the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope."  May we not grow weary in well doing!

One day... and one day soon, it will all come full circle. We will be made complete.
