Yayyy!! Its the last month of the year. I'm particularly excited about December 2015.
Here's why.
In the days leading up to the beginning of this month, I'd been stock taking...appraising my year 2015 and I recalled how pumped I was about it especially as it was declared in my local church assembly on January 1st to be our "Year of Boldness." I recalled how I had penned down all the plans and goals I wanted to come to fruition for me this year.
I was determined...2015 won't end like 2014! I will be bold, take bold decisions and carry out even bolder actions towards fulfilling them.
I then recalled how downcast I got when halfway through the year...the biggest thing I desired hadn't materialized...and it seemed unlikely to. My dreams were not bursting forth...my plans were seemingly just that...ideas on paper, never to make it to reality. I got to a point and I gave up on what I desired and "whatever is meant to be will be" became my mantra. I stopped working on those plans...I let them be and focused my mind on other things.
At the end of my self-appraisal...looking at what is roundabout me now, I indeed became filled with sheer gratitude to God because while I was planning, I lost sight of the fact that He has a better surer plan. The Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 has been tugging at my heart and is my message for us as we near 2015's finish line.
While you plan and pursue...remember that God's purpose will always prevail. So when things aren't working out according to your plan, they are working out according to His.
Determine to be attentive to those inner promptings in your spirit...for that's the Spirit of God speaking to you. When He says "let go," do so. If He says "turn right," please don't turn left.
Remember what God says in Jeremiah 29:11..."For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you...plans to give you hope and a future."
Trust His plan! #HappyDecember
