Starting a New Year!

Starting a New Year!

Join me at the beginning of this new year as I first look at some leading Old Testament characters.  Each day we will uncover tidbits of information from scripture about a man or woman who had a relationship with God and did their best to serve Him.

The Old Testament is filled with exciting stories of colorful men and women, both saints and sinners. God saw their hearts as He sees ours.  He yearns for a relationship with us – not as a master and puppet, but as a friend and participant in that relationship.  He offered His covenant to humanity, knowing that we would never be able to meet Him in His perfection, yet He continues to find ways to meet us as we are.

A new year comes with hope and anticipation for things to be better.  Every one of these stories reminds us that hope and anticipation when walking with God are part of the story.

Here’s who I will write about during the month of January.
