Bishop T.D. Jakes said; “don’t just go into the New Year waiting to see what’s going happen, but go expecting great things to happen!” I am going to do just that!
I decided to take off the first week of the New Year to focus, communicate with God, organize my life, and plan what I expect to see happen in 2012!
In the midst of working, going to meetings, running errands, and a host of other everyday tasks; we lose the time to be quiet and still in the presence of God. This year for me is all about my faith walk. Everything that I expect to see happen in 2012 can only come through the power of God. And in order for me to have clarity and direction, I need to depend solely on the Lord.
You may think well if she is a Christian that is a given, but not true. Life itself is designed to keep you busier than busy and fall away from the foundation of depending on God. Walking a faith walk isn’t easy. Quite the contrary, it is the hardest thing to do in my opinion. But from experience I know it is the only way for me to live.
I can’t begin to understand all the things that I will face in 2012 and nor do I know how to figure most things out that require divine intervention, so in order to keep myself sane, I have to rely solely on God’s direction.
So that’s why I am taking the opportunity to be still, focus, and seek the face of God for 2012. I am going into the New Year expecting great and mighty things that I can’t do in my own intelligence or strength.
To God be the glory for the great and mighty things that He will do in 2012!
