Concentrate on what is before you…

📖 Philippians 3:13

‘But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.’

• It is a wonderful privilege to stand on the edge of a new season.
• Part of life is learning to live for the future and releasing what is in the past.
• Our thoughts and energy should be focused on the road that lies ahead of us.
• Throw yourself into the next leg of the race and into the hope of the future.

🙏🏾 Prayer: Lord, thank You that I can believe and trust in You for a wonderful future that You have prepared for me. Help me to let go of the past and to propel myself into tomorrow, making the best use of every opportunity that You give me, In the Name of Jesus. Amen

Thank you my wonderful Father that I can walk into my new future and the new plan You have for my life. Thank you Holy Spirit for walking it with me and never letting me go. I Love You my Father with all of my heart. I dance at Your feet today my Father for what You are doing in my life. 🙏🙌❤️🕊️🤗

In the beginning of 2022…

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.1.1.NKJV

In the beginning God created heaven and earth. He took nothingness and created the wonderful and beautiful earth as we know it. Not only did He create everything , but he created it perfectly! We read this in Genesis 1:31.

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31 NKJV.

Just think about it for a moment. Everything around us was created by God out of nothing!  And that is not all, He created everything perfectly! 

We are standing at the beginning of 2022. We can try to “take on” this year on our own and do things our way. This is not a good idea to say the least! I know! I have tried this in the past and this course of action did not yeald any lasting positive results! 

No matter how or what we plan or do, thing inevitably go haywire. Thinking that you are in control and in charge is the biggest misconception that you can have. We, as humans, are not in charge of anything!

The second option,  that should be our first and only option, is to “let go and let God”. Let go of the idea that we are in control,  because we are not. We are not in control of anything. We have no control over what happens in the next 15 minutes,  let alone the rest of the year!

Hand everything over to God. Let Him be in charge,  because He is. Let control over you live over to God. Pray to God. Study His Word. Get to know His will. Strive to do His will. 

So, let’s do the clever thing this year. Let’s let God be in control of our lives during 2022. 

At the beginning of 2022 we have a blank page in our new chapter.  Let’s start this new chapter with the words “In the  beginning God…”  Allow God to be in charge of writing you new chapter…
