In the midst of these challenges and struggles, what can the people of God be sure of in 2012?

1. God will still be on His throne.

2. Christ will still live to make intercession for us.

3. The Bible will still have the answer to our most important questions.

4. Prayer will still be the most powerful “tool” at our disposal.

5. The blood of Christ will still cleanse us of our sins.

6. God will still be praised and honored by His people.

7. God will still pour out His blessings on His people.

8. There will still be faithful gospel preaching.

9. Jesus will still love us.

10. There will still be room at the cross.

11. Jesus will still save those who come to Him.

Of course, as we made these “predictions,” we worked various scripture passages into them, showing that, regardless of what life may bring to us this year, we can be sure of the above.

We need to be often reminded that — as the ancient prophet stated and as the New Testament apostle quoted him — “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8; 1 Peter 1:24-25).

Each of the preceding predictions will be fulfilled unless the Lord returns between now and December 31st, 2012.
