2021 was another atypical year, but again we were able to count on God’s grace. Therefore, in this text, we would like to first thank the Father for so much care and love, even in the midst of challenging situations. And we also want to thank you for following and supporting our work for another year.
First, We thank God
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
PSALM 136:1
The first one to whom we give all our praise and thanksgiving is the LORD.
I don’t know what difficulties and trials you’ve lived through this year. Unfortunately, many people faced different types of loss. People lost loved ones, businesses went bankrupt, dreams failed to be fulfilled. It was not an easy year. But we believe in a present and omnipresent God. As much as we go through trials by fire, our Lord is the One who is always by our side. Daniel’s friends had to face the fiery furnace, but there was with them a fourth man in the fire, “like the Son of God” (Dan. 3:25).
The Bible promises us many times that even as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He will be with us. Even though we experience storms, we have Jesus in the boat and the hope that one day we will live with the Father forever. This is the best good news we can cling to year after year. It soothes, rejoices and brings peace to our hearts. It brings us a perspective that a year is very little close to the eternity we find in God. There’s no way we can’t live in gratitude.
As the Bible Offline team, we always have a grateful heart to know that the message we carry is the good news of God’s Word. Father has blessed us by giving us the opportunity to share the Bible through the cell phones of millions of people. What a privilege we have to work with the most precious and powerful book in history, which transforms lives around the world and spreads the hope of Christ’s eternal life in us.
We also want to thank YOU
Yes, YOU who use our APP! Thank you so much for reading the Word through the Bible Offline. Thank you for evangelizing with SAL and sharing verses, for taking notes, for participating of the reading plans, for following our blog, and for using other app features.
By the way, congratulations to you who engaged with God’s Word in 2021! As it is written in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
We hope that in 2022 you can be even more filled with the Scriptures and the wisdom that comes from above. May it be a year of great intimacy with God and many profound experiences in His presence. May you take every opportunity to bless others, to be transformed, and to fulfill the Father’s calling for your life.
