As we enter into a new year, one of EAST’s resident faculty, Dr Lau Ying Kheng has penned a poem upon reflection from Ecclesiastes 9:11-12. Do enjoy her poem below.
Eccl 9:11-12 “I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.”
God Bless You in the New Year
May our good Lord continue to bless you in the New Year!
“For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:11-13, NRSV

A New Year Filled with Hope

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” ~ Isaiah 43:19, ESV
May these words from the God of Hope be your daily companion in the new year! Just as He has been faithful through the eventful 2021, He will not only see us through 2022, but will cause us to thrive in wondrous new ways.

Be Still. He is Still God.
This new year has begun in the midst of very unique times indeed. We continue to keep the regions of the world in prayer through this season of the global pandemic.
Still, we continue to be still and keep our eyes on the Lord. He takes us through these times as the One who has gone ahead of us.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
His mercies never come to end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”
~ Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV ~
This is a song with a good reminder for this season. May the Lord lead you through this new year with fruitfulness and love.
