It’s that time of season again; wrapping gifts, Celebrating His Birthday with family and friends. Along with ending a year and starting with a new one. Making Plans and setting goals and organizing for what lies ahead. Do you wonder what will the New Year bring for you? Over the past serval years I have learned that plans, goals and organizing are good habits, a discipline if you will, not to be idle or distracted. On the other hand, not allowing for a flexibility in those habits can lead to stubborn habits of planning our plans and missing His plans. Since we acknowledge we are created for His pleasure, His Plans, His purpose, and our life is not our own. Our Everlasting Father has a plan for each of us to fulfill. A plan that is a blessing to us, a blessing others, and a blessing to HIM. The Birth of Christ was carefully planned out for a purpose. We now know that it was to save the world, to redeem us from this world we live in. The Time, Location, the People … all in His plan. They had the Stables to themselves on a peaceful night… all in His Plan. No fan fair just a peaceful humble entry on earth… all in His Plan. Visitors receiving revelation of the Miracle to whom was before them… all in His Plan. Speaking to joseph in the night to move to Egypt … all in His Plan..... The Lord has given us his instructions, His love letters; to speak to us, to understand Him, and His desire for us to have the best life possible. The world and the things of it will always try to spoil and draw you away from God’s plan for your life. That is where connecting with Him is of the utmost importance – Reading His Word, Speaking to Him, Listening for His voice, to be Obedient to do His Will. It sounds so simple yet, our humanness fights against it. At one time or another Every Christian has struggled with this. Psalms 33:15 NIV “He who formed the Hearts of all, who considers everything they do.” He is saying that He knows our hearts - He understands our motives – and He is encouraging us to take the needed steps forward to be more excellent than the day before. As you ponder Our Beautiful Savior in your heart this Christmas Season. Thinking of the good Plans He has for your life....it’s all in His Plan for something greater. Make plans to connect with Our Lord daily, Set goals for reading and devotions, Organizing your thoughts and His spoken words to you in a journal, and be flexible to God’s will. So, with a change of perspective, I ask again; What will the New Year Bring for You? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year VJB18
