May you be greatly and generously blessed by “YAHWEH” (“THE LORD” [Exodus 3:15; cf. 6:3], that is, the SELF-EXISTING, the SELF-SUFFICIENT, the SELF-SUSTAINING, the SOVEREIGN and the SUPREME DEITY of the UNIVERSE), in the NEW YEAR! May the LORD Himself go ahead of you into the NEW YEAR according to His word: “The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you” (Deuteronomy 31:8a; NASB)! May the LORD’s presence go with you wherever He leads you in the NEW YEAR according to His promise: “And He said, ‘My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest’” (Exodus 33:14; cf. Exodus 33:15-16; NASB)! May the LORD also be good to you and do good to you! For His word says: "You [LORD] are GOOD and do GOOD" (Psalm 119:68; NASB). "And we know that God causes all things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28; NASB)! Since our LORD is a Great and Generous Giver, may He give you what is good you what’s good in His sight according His declaration: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven GIVE what is GOOD to those who ask Him” (Matthew 7:11; NASB)! May the LORD, your Father, give you whatever you ask Him in His Son’s name according His word of promise to you: "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that WHATEVER YOU ASK OF THE FATHER IN MY NAME He may GIVE you” (John 15:16; NASB)! May “the LORD lift up His countenance on you, and GIVE you PEACE" (Numbers 6:26; NASB)! May the LORD, who knows you will need rest in the NEW YEAR, give you rest according to His blessed promises: “I will GIVE you REST” (Exodus 3:14; NASB). “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will GIVE you REST” (Matthew 11:28; NASB)! May the LORD also give you rest from all your enemies according His faithful word to King David: “I will GIVE you REST FROM ALL YOUR ENEMIES” (2 Samuel 7:11b; NASB; cf. 2 Samuel 7:1)! May the LORD also, “GIVE you RICHES and WEALTH and HONOR” (2 Chronicles 1:12b; NASB)! May the LORD give you much more than you’ve lost or will ever lose according to the word of the man of God to King Amaziah of Judah! “Amaziah said to the man of God, ‘But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I had given to the troops of Israel?’ And the man of God answered, ‘The LORD has MUCH MORE to GIVE you than this’” (2 Chronicles 25:9; NASB)! Yes, may you be greatly and generously blessed by “YAHWEH” (“THE LORD” [Exodus 3:15; cf. 6:3], that is, the SELF-EXISTING, the SELF-SUFFICIENT, the SELF-SUSTAINING, the SOVEREIGN and the SUPREME DEITY of the UNIVERSE), in the NEW YEAR and BEYOND!
