The Unknown

It feels like only yesterday that I tore the last page of the calendar for the month of September but here we are already to step into December. The moment you reach September, time seems to move a lot faster. It’s as if the earth moves faster just to reach the next cycle.

It’s normal to feel uncertain as the year draws to an end. I won’t even get to the resolutions because I doubt that many can even meet half of their new year resolutions. So, don’t write up new year resolutions. Be guided by God in a daily basis.

If you know that you know that God has put a dream in your heart to pursue, baby steps is the key. My pastor once said that if God is the one who ordered it, He will pay for it. So, do not doubt His provision for your life. Just trust in His timing. Yes, you read it right. Things may not happen the way we want it and timing might be off (according to our plans) but God’s timing is best. Trust Him as you step into the near year and dream with Him.

Bible Verse

“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 6:1-9 (NLT)

The Thing About Vision

Sometimes I think our vision gets corrupted by the things of the world. I find that the best way to get our vision corrected is to soak in God’s Word. I made the mistake of not really planning out my future that much of what’s happening in my life currently is the result of it. However, not all is lost because God intervened.

I believe that when we are following God’s leading as best as we know how, He will show up in various places confirming that the road we’re taking is the right or wrong road. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that following God means everything will be smooth sailing and free of obstacles. It does mean that He has been there before you. He knows what you’re made of, and will walk with you, even through the valleys.

When you’re uncertain about your future, you can put your trust in the Living God.

Bible

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
