FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK ~  As we enter a New Year, none of us have a clear view of everything that 2025 has in store for us. We would have far less fear and stress in our lives if we did. The unknown of some of those events that we will face causes us to be anxious and concerned. For those of us who are Christ-followers, we may not know everything that might happen this year, but we do have a gift that can be a guiding light on our futures -- The Word of God. Psalms 119:105 tells us, “Your word is lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” 

One author has said, “God’s Word is a heavy-duty flashlight that lights up each day of the coming year. When our way is especially dark, it’s a floodlight. When we need God’s comforting presence, it’s a lamp on the table. When we have a dreary day, it’s our sunshine. When we need guidance, it’s a beacon. When we need courage, it’s a torch. When we share it with others, we ourselves become radiant.” This light, God’s Word, is available to us every day. What better way to start each day than equipping ourselves with the light of His Word. Light that will help and support us to meet the challenges and opportunities that we will face. God’s Word is one that we need to consider, research, dissect, and meditate on. Let us all, at the beginning of this new year, renew our commitment to the Word of God like never before. By doing so, we will be able to have everything that we need to live a victorious kingdom life. This is so critical now as we see the world in which we live growing darker and darker. We all are in need of the light of His Word to be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. ~ God’s blessings, protection, and favor to all.
