Why is it that we let yesterday rob us of today, and why is it that the hope for tomorrow never comes for when it arrives it becomes today being robbed by yesterday? 2009 is a clean slate, but is the slate clean for you? What will it take for you to let this year be the year God wants it to be for you?
Take a look at Jeremiah 29:11-14. " 'For i know the plans that I have for you' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found by you,' declares the LORD."
What will it take for you to trust in the LORD with all you heart and not lean on your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge Him so that He can direct your paths? Things may not look too great for your 2009. You may be facing financial difficulties because of lay offs and the inability to find full-time work because of the economic instability. You may be facing health issues. It may feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. It may look like there is not hope, but in the words of Habakkuk "Though the fig tree should not blossom, And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail, And the field produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold, And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation." God is worthy of your trust. Trust Him with your todays, tomorrows, and yesterdays. No matter what--ALWAYS TRUST HIM
The LORD bless you with trusting in His hand on your life.
I love you,
Ruth
