A Prosperous and Successful New Year?  It is my great desire and prayer that 2008 is a prosperous and successful year for every member of the Living Hope family.  I believe that the Lord wants prosperity and success for His people.  But did you know there is a cost involved?  It requires a confident forward movement on our part, continually walking through every open door the Lord sets before us.  It requires the strength and courage that comes from knowing that God will never leave or forsake us.  And it requires a growing obedience to the Lord that comes from a steady diet of the Word of God.  “Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Jos 1:8b, ESV).  So, then, the question is not will you, but are you willing to have a prosperous and successful new year?
