Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: "Bless me, O
bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal
protection-don't let evil hurt me." God gave him what he asked (1
Chronicles 4:10 MSG).
As we continue throughout this year enlargement,
doors opening and abundant opportunity awaits.
This is a time of New Beginnings and for some New Year Resolutions. Now is the time to move forward with momentum
and purpose. What personal goals have
you set for yourself this year? Are you
frustrated because a few of those same goals are on your list from last
year? If so, take the pressure off and
celebrate the things on your list last year that you did not accomplish. How about goals you accomplished that you
never wrote down but they came to pass still the same? Hopefully, you are getting the real point. The real point being it is nice to have goal
statements and action plans but they are only as good as the action behind
them.
One of the most important things to do at the
beginning of the year is to take time to seek God and ask Him what His will is
for your life in the New Year. God will
speak if you quiet yourself and listen, at that point have a journal or paper with
pen ready to write down what God tells you.
You will be surprised of the pressure that will be taken off of you and
the great opportunities that awaits not only naturally but spiritually. But with these blessings come another level
of responsibility and in many cases accountability. Pray and ask God by the power of the Holy
Spirit to help you be ready in your thinking and pursuing. Too not sit down when you need to get up. Too
not back up when you need to step up and not to grow weary in well doing. Thank
God for the word that directs your path and leads you to the land of promise. Have a blessed and prosperous year.
