The Word in the New Year

January 1, 2019

Greetings Family and Friends,

Happy New Year to you! I do hope that you find happiness in this new year. However, in the midst of all that the world has laid at our collective feet, are you wondering what to do when trouble comes, where to go when evil appears, who to call when you need to share, when it is time to take that leap, or are you just wondering why (like an innocent child)? In this new year, consider and remember the fact that there is nothing more important in life than your relationship with God. As part of nurturing your spiritual life this year, I invite you to read through the entire Bible with me. Therein you will find answers to many of your questions. You may also uncover new questions. Questions about meaningfulness in life, questions about timing, questions about wisdom, oppression, toil and pleasures.

Join in as we read through the Bible in 2019. We will make our way through the Word chronologically and hold discussion online using the hashtag #WJoyBible2019. Check the WJoy Facebook page (@wjoyministries) daily for scriptures and to join the monthly discussion. This is not another bible study, but a regular reading and reflection on God’s Word.
Friends and family, take all your questions to God in prayer. Acknowledge God in every area of your life. Remember that nothing is more important in this life than seeking to know, serve, reverence and praise God, through love for God and others.

May peace, hope, joy, justice and love accompany you throughout 2019!
Rev. Ineda P. Adesanya
