A Hopeful Outlook for 2024

Rev. James Gentry

December 30, 2023

We all look forward to starting anew. As the New Year approaches our minds drift from what was to what will be. Ultimately, our goal (resolution) is that the New Year will be better than the previous. 

I    Seek God For Your Life

But God... how wonderful and sweet is thy name. It was God who preserved us during our time of trials and tribulations. It was God who kept us from throwing in the towel and giving up; It was God’s mercies in providence and grace that sustained us when all looked lost.

II   Seek God’s Forgiveness throughout Your Life

I understand that the world says that it is okay to shack up together, on the premise of saving money for the soon-to-follow, distant future of a marriage. I know that the world says it is okay to trade bitterness for bitterness and hatred for hatred. The world says a lot of things and all of it is contrary to God’s laws, commandments, and statutes. 

III Seek God’s Plan for Your Life

Then I believed myself to be an entrepreneur and started my own Record Management Company, then I reckoned I would try my hand at Marketing and Sales officer, then I …. you fill in the blank. I was operating out of my strength and out of my understanding of my life. It took me a while to get it together and seek God’s will for my life.
