We are really not about resolutions at the beginning of a New Year ....However, We would like to share what we feel is one of the most important things to start the New Year off knowing. We pray that each of you will have a Blessed New Year!!! The Hebrew word for blessed in Psalm 32:1-2 means the sheer happiness of. Happiness of what? First of all "I (we, you) am forgiven! (For missing the mark...anytime our actions do not glorify God) Second..I(we, You) am covered....Psalm31:1,5. Third (and hardest to grasp) I (we, you) am righteous..Psalm 32:6,11; Romans 4:1-8. Righteousness is not determined by behavior...but it is determined by belief. Fourth, I (we, you) am surrounded by songs of deliverance(Psalm 32:7) and by the Lord's unfailing love(Psalm 32:10). Last, but very important because this is where we give Glory back to God... I (we, you) am a lesson (Psalm 51:12-13). Allow God to use your life in 2012 to teach others. Because of God's forgiveness...We can all truly Celebrate life! Happy New Year from The Stockman Family...
