2009 - The Year of Fruitfulness As God Remains the same:

As long as we His sheep - we shall abundantly be fruitful in 2009. Though as Sheep we still be dumb, still vulnerable to wolves and struggling with many of life's unseemliness even that certain future prospects that threaten to be remain unalterable. Yet, the fact remains that everything around us is changing and shaking. But praise God, Hope has kicked in. Hope has illuminated the horizons of our heart as surely as Angelic light filled the night sky at the first Christmas. There is a God. He has not forgotten us and He has not changed. He is the creator of all things living and not-living. He is alive. He has intervened. He has a plan. And it changes how I see all of life, even if most of my life does change or remain the same.
And this is such good news for this Year 2009:

1. The Bible will STILL be the eternal Word of God - forever settled in Heaven!

2. Prayer will STILL always work!
