As
we bid adieu to 2015, may we greet 2016 with a
renewed sense of hope and promise and resolve to
expand our relationship with Jesus Christ. He
is our Hope and our Salvation! During this
calamitous time, we pray for peace and goodwill.
May we pray for our brothers and sisters in
Christ and proudly extol His message.
The
Harvesters felt extremely blessed in 2015 and
look forward with great anticipation to the
things God has planned for us in this New
Year. We always are excited to return to our
ever faithful churches and other concert venues
and love to unite with you---our gospel music
family. Please check our concert schedule and
make plans to join us at an event near you.
In
addition, many new doors of opportunity opened
for us to spread His word in song and we are
grateful for any and all occasions we get to
share our Music Ministry with others. Our goal
will always be to “Reap Souls for His Kingdom.”
As
the New Year begins, we generally want to start
fresh and perhaps make a few changes in the way
we do things. We rushed around both before and
after Christmas, enjoyed the company of family
and friends and stressed out about a myriad of
things which had nothing to do with Christ’s
birth.
This passage from Isaiah points out to us that
if we have faith and hope in the Lord then we
are able to draw on the strength that only God
can give as we start this New Year. We may be
weary from the days of endless stress at work or
at home, illness, financial burdens, death and
any number of other misfortunes. We feel tired
and exhausted and at times can be overcome by
fear. That is when God wraps us in His loving
arms and lifts up our heads so we can face each
day.
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Our
wish to each and every one of you is a healthy,
peaceful, joyful New Year showered in God’s
blessings!
Together in Christ’s love,
Danny Parker
