Various predictions said year 2009 will be a tough one. It won't be better until 2010. So, I guess this time around, happy new year is quite meaningful. I wish whoever visiting this blog will have a happy new year, a new year which will be a happy one.
It is particularly interesting that I read Psalm 66 [link] on Dec 31 and Psalm 67 [link] /Mark 1:14-28 [link] on Jan 1. Psalm 66 records how Israelites praise God for what He did. All the recital of the history is to give praise and thanks. At the end of year 2008, maybe it's about time to reflect and count the blessings. Hmm... maybe we should also count the "cursing" so that we will try to avoid them. Psalm 67 starts with "May God be gracious to us and bless us and makes His face shine upon us/that your way may be known on earth and salvation among all nations". In this coming tough year, we really need God's grace and blessing and his face shining upon us, so that His way may be known on earth and salvation among all nations. Upon reading Mark 1:14-28, the idea of "at once" keeps popping up. I guess this "at once" attitude of doing things probably is something I should work on.
Anyhow, happy new year.

A very happy new year hope to all indeed especially where blessing is deprived, often misused, and overseen in a world that repeatedly chooses to live a life of curses.
