HAPPY NEW YEAR

• If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for
good judgement and common sense, then trust the Lord
completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put
God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with
success. Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead,
trust and reverence the Lord, and trun your back on evil; when
you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality –
Provers 3 : 4 – 8 (The Living Bible)
