Smile At The Future


Strength and dignity are her clothing. And she smiles at the future
Proverbs 31:25

Tomorrow is the beginning of a whole new year.  We have no idea what it holds.  Only God knows and we must trust Him with our future.

Proverbs tells us that a wise woman smiles at the future ~

She doesn't fear bad news, because she knows that God is on His throne and He is a good God.

She is thankful for the many blessings that she has received and is generous with what she has been given.

She doesn't fret and worry for her children, but trains them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

She doesn't worry about getting old, because she knows this is God's perfect plan for her.

She believes the best and hopes the best for her children and husband, because she has put them in His hands.

She doesn't worry about famine and future events, because she knows that God is her provider.

So as this new year begins, thank God for His many blessings.  Learn to truly love those around you.  Smile and laugh a lot.  Hug your family and friends often.  Enjoy happy times around the dinner table.  Speak words of kindness to others.  Trust God and His promises.  Believe who you are in Christ.  Smile at the future!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year from Australia - it is already the 1st of January 2012. No, we don't know what the year will bring . . but we do know that God will provide for all our needs and that is all that matters.
Happy New Year from Doha! I am so glad you stopped by The Organic Blonde so I could get to know your blog. I enjoy it. I agree that if you have faith in God that things will work out the way they should. Thanks for the reminder, also about how service can stave off depression. May you and your family be truly blessed this New Year.

Hello Lori,
All good wishes for 2012.
Thanks for the reminder about putting our family in God's hands. I pray and do this ,but, I still fret about them. This is a constant 'handing them over to God's care' situation for me .
God Bless
