A new year is quickly approaching! It is always an exciting season of new things awaiting us. In preparation – many decide to make goals, resolutions, and plans for great things in the new year. It is a great practice that I plan on participating in. But that is not what is on my heart right now.
There are only a few more days left in 2015 and in these next few days, I am starting to prepare my heart for the things God has for me in 2016. This entailes laying some thoughts, insecurities, and doubts down. I don’t want the things I plan for my new year to fall by the wayside because I held onto my old insecurities.
It’s time to kill off some adverse things that I allowed in my mind and heart that I know will not allow me to go on to new, better things. Just as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
Old things must pass before new things can come. I encourage you to search your heart & pray that God not only reveals the thoughts, doubts, and insecurities that have held you back, but that He takes those things away. That will require you to lay those things down.
Prepare & guard your heart for a great & wonderful new season! Great things are ahead of us all. God is so very faithful!
“Prepare your outside work, Make it fit for yourself in the field; And afterward build your house.”
Proverbs 24:27 NKJV
Be blessed, dear friends. Our best is yet to come!
Prayer: Lord, help me to lay down the thoughts, doubts, and insecurities that I have held onto for too long. The things that hinder growth and keep me from better things. Take these things from me and heal my brokenness so they will not come back. Thank you for always being faithful. In Jesus’ precious name, amen!
Boldly Radiant
