I LOVE the start of a new year. It feels so refreshing… so much like a new beginning. In all realness though we get a new beginning every day which is exceedingly cool… something we should probably think about a bit more.
Is 2009 going to be your best year or not? That’s the question. And really it’s not a questions of positivism or wishful thinking but a question of faith. Do you believe that God is inherently good or that he’s got a mean streak and you always seem to cop it somehow? How you view God will directly impact how much faith you can have about a thing… anything really.
Faith is like a mirror which allows you to see the possibilities of the Kingdom of God at work in your life. If you’re sick, faith looks and sees the power of the Kingdom of God bringing healing to your body. Prayer and constant faith bring that possibility into your present reality.
But if you have misconceptions about who God is, if you think he’s a happiness sucker or a dissappointment giver then that’s going to skew your faith mirror and you’re only going to see a blurred picture of what God wants for you. Faith exists in the revealed will of God. So get your view of God right and you’ll see more of what God wants for you.
And then 2009 is going to be your best year yet!
I have no Idea where I heard this, but it’s stuck with me and somehow rings true:
“This day is the best and the worst day of my life. This can only be possible with God, and tomorrow can only be even better.”
