Put Your Pedal To The Medal—WHOOO-HOOO!
It’s still early in the NEW year are you ready and willing to SHIFT Gear from Park or Neutral?
Prior to any new year, I customarily make time to get quiet with God for an annual review of the prior year—what lessons has He taught me? Where has He brought me? What lives have been impacted for His purposes as a result of the prior questions? Then most of all…what NEW dimension of Himself has been revealed to me?
The recap leaves me in tears of JOY and some years bittersweet tears of SORROW knowing I must take my spiritual “redo” test because I did not quite GRASP the character lesson the first time!
As I read my Bible, prayed and journaled, my heart was impressed with an image of a sleek sports car. Honestly, NOT my first choice as a 5’ 10” person who on fancy occasions likes to wear “big hair”—so logically a sports car is NOT this woman’s dream. LOL
Yet, I did appreciate the cars’ beauty and the smooth sound of its POWERFUL engine. As I looked inside this fine automobile—I noticed the pedal was marked FAITH and the gear handle in 1st stated TRUST?!
Then, I heard the spirit in my heart say …“Daughter, what would your life look like if this year you pushed the PEDAL TO THE MEDAL and fully launched forward with Faith and Trust in Me???!”
WOW…I laughed at that very moment and saw myself taking off at MACH 1 speed, my neck snapped back as the wind blew gently through my hair!
What an exhilarating experience! Although the speed was lightening FAST, a quiet peace reigned in my heart because I knew The One navigating the road. I challenge you too today —“ what would YOUR life look like this year” IF you too released each fear, each worry, each anxiety, and concern about the provision to simply…PUT YOUR PEDAL TO THE MEDAL with absolute Faith and Trust in God?!
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, 7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” 1 Peter 5:6,7 AMP
Watch where HE will take you, Watch how He will safely navigate you on the winding road…strap in and enjoy the journey!
“our kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” Psalm 145:13 NIV
“The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.” Hebrews 11:1 MSG
I pass on the Challenge to you this year—PUT YOUR PEDAL TO THE MEDAL IN…HIM!
You Were Made For…MORE!
Blessings,
