Vol. 20. No. 1.
JANUARY 1st, 1944.
Twopence.
The Lord's Eyes Are Upon The New Year.
" The land whither ye go to possess it is a land. of
hills and valleys and drinketh water \of the rain of
heaven; a land which the Lord thy God careih for: the
eyes of the Lord are always upon it, from the beginning
of the year even to the
end of the year." (Deut. iiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaMiiiimiiiiiiiiiiinii
11: 11, 12.)
TO-DAY we stand
upon the verge of
the unknown. There
lies before us the new
year and we are going
forth to possess it.
Who can tell what we
shall find? What new
experiences, what
changes shall come, what
new needs shall arise?
But here is the cheering, comforting, gladdening message from
our Heavenly Father,
"The Lord thy God
careth for it." " His eyes
are upon it alway to the
ending of the year."
All our supply is to
come from the Lord.
Here are springs that
shall never dry; here
are fountains and
streams that shall never
be cut off. Here,
anxious one, is the gracious pledge of the
Heavenly Father. If He
be the source of our
mercies they can never
fail us. No heat, no
drought can parch that
river, " the streams 3
whereof make glad the city of God.'
The land is a land of hills and valleys. It is not
all smooth nor all down hill. If life were all one
dead level the dull sameness would oppress us; we
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
" I do not know, I cannot see
What God's kind hand prepares for me.
Nor can my glance pierce through the
haze
Which covers all my future ways;
But yet I know that o'er it all
Rules He who notes the sparrow's fall.
Farewell, Old Year, with goodness
crowned, >
A Hand Divine hath set thy bound.
Welcome the New Year, which shall bring
First blessings from my God and King.
The Old we leave without a tear,
The New we hail without a fear."
want the hills and the valleys. The hills collect the
rain for a hundred fruitful valleys. Ah, so it is with
us! It is the hill difficulty that drives- us to the throne
of grace and brings down the shower of blessing;
the hills, the bleak hills
of life that we wonder
at and perhaps grumble
at, bring down the
showers. How many
have perished in the
wilderness, buried under
its golden sands, who
would have lived and
thriven in the hill-
country ; how many
would have been killed
by the frost, blighted
with winds, swept desolate of tree and fruit
but for the hill—stern,
hard, rugged, so steep
to climb. God's hills
are a gracious protection for His people
against their foes!
We cannot tell what
loss and sorrow and
trial are doing. Trust
only. The Father comes
near to take our hand
and lead us on our way
to-day. It shall be a
good, a blessed New
Year!
—Zinsendorf (bom 1700
A.D.).
