| What do you see!
Good morning 2006, this is the dawn not only of a new day but a new year. For many this time of year is a great time to reflect on the past year and see what happened both negative and positive, and for many that is very depressing because as people remember the pain and hard times it seems to overwhelm the good times and create this mind monster that haunts us for the rest of our lives reminding us how bad our year and ultimately our lives are! Well, I could say a lot about this, however if you wish to learn my thought on this simple look back over some xanga entries and you will see I am usually very optimistic, and feel more people need to experience the overflowing Joy of the Lord to overcome depression and false realities of ourselves and our lives. We need to see ourselves through God’s eyes.
For others the beginning of the year is a time to look ahead and dream, it is a chance to say to ourselves, I am here and going further, I chose to press on, I chose to fight today and this year, I chose to become more of who God has designed me to be. It is a time of resolutions as we see people trying to improve and change themselves to something better. Although we all know most resolutions do not make it past February, like come on let’s be real people!
Although most resolutions do not last, and no one loses a 100lbs by swimsuit season, I still think it is important and needed to look ahead spiritually, and open our eyes and say, God what do you see for this year? Help me to see it please Lord. I know that God has the answers in his hands and I believe if we ask for his vision he will give it to us, if we say, open the eyes of our hearts Lord, he is faithful to do it, and what a wonderful year we will see!
I could spend all day telling you what I see for 2006, what my vision, and goals are, what dreams I have, and what dreams I even believe the Lord has for us, but instead I think it is important that each person find this for themselves. So here are a few verses on vision, and the importance of having it and writing it down, and I challenge you to take time and pray ask to see what God sees for this year and write it down, if it is area of change write down that u want god to help you change in this area, to be better, to move forward to change the world! This is a new year, last year had is problems, also had it’s victories, but now we are here, and the time has come to chose to fight hard and press forward, for the sake of our selves, family, friends, and even future generations to come!
As a friend of mine had put on his MSN: “My challenge to you, challenge yourself” I agree with this, but also want to add to it, allow God to challenge you this year!
Happy new years friends!
Then the LORD said to me, "Write my answer (the vision) in large, clear letters on a tablet, so that a runner can read it and tell everyone else. Hab.2:2
When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is happy.
When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is happy.
Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he. Prov29:18
asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints Eph1:17-18 |
