Pull Out The MOTH Balls! HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year!
GEM Friends, the start of a new calendar year brings anticipation of new opportunities, new adventures and new areas of personal growth.
Although some of the circumstances of the prior year may not have changed...it still cannot stop me from choosing to look forward with anticipation of CHANGE!
One of my favorite books state---the only thing CONSTANT in life is...CHANGE!
And one of my beloved mentors' shares:
"It’s not what you ARE that holds YOU back…it’s what you THINK YOU ARE NOT that holds you back!"
The key question for us as we venture into the NEW Year..."Am I carrying the OLD mindset of last year and the past? Or do I still see myself as a mere worm???"
"Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I will help you, says the Lord; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 41:14
You may feel like a worm...and God knows it...YET, He says FEAR NOT! Why?
Because His grace, His Strength, His Provision, His Deliverance, His Care and Guidance for you this year is MORE than enough! Call upon Him...He said--- I WILL HELP YOU!
I challenge each one of us today, as I challenge myself...although you may see yourself as an insignificant worm...a mere caterpillar. Today, I ask you to look into the Face of God and let His mirror reflect...HIS image of you!
Ask for help with the new assignment...ask for help with the new friendships...ask for help with health, finances, daily counsel, etc. I assure you He will not turn away from you.
Here's a great reminder from a highly influential, successful and educated man---the apostle Paul:
"I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. 13 I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]" Phillippians 4:12,13 AMP
So, before we progress any further into the NEW year, let's apply the mothballs of His Word to repel the wormy thoughts attempting to rob us of the exciting NEW opportunities of the upcoming year.
God is here throughout the New Year to HELP you...Spread your beautiful wings...and FLY!
