Do not faint or fear...

  Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful
  at the report heard in the land,
 when a report comes in one year
  and afterward a report in another year,
 and violence is in the land,
  and ruler is against ruler.(Jeremiah 51:46 ESV)
As we sit at the end of another year, and looking forward to another, unknowing, we are not to faint in despair or fear with terror.  Jeremiah wrote at one of the lowest points in the more and political history of Israel, yet he had hope.  So should we.  Tomorrow is another day, another year, lived before the Lord, who is sovereign.  We have hope, we have life, in Him.
