The End and the Beginning

We are in the middle of the last month of the year.

We are closing the year to begin a new year thus giving us the opportunity to make a fresh start in life.

We can leave the mistakes behind to embrace new opportunities.

We should also take some time during this month to reflect on all the wonderful things that God has done for us throughout the year and shower Him with praise and thanksgiving.

A new year means renewed blessings.

Best Tips to Jump-start your New Year

A word of advice to begin the new year is that you continue to hold fast to God and live.

If you release Him at this time in your life then where will you be? How will you cope?

If you try to hide from God where will you hide? 

The Psalmist was at a crossroads in his life when he exclaimed,

“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalms 139:7-10 NKJV)

He recognized that there was nowhere that he could escape the omnipotent presence of the Lord, even if he made his bed in hell.

What a wonderful God we serve!

So, my friend, continue to press on this journey with the Lord because you will be transformed in His image. 

Are you willing to walk with God forever?

If you have forsaken the Lord, return to Him quickly. God will take you back because His compassion never fails. 

During the month of December, we should also schedule some time in prayer and fasting. 

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16 NKJV)

When we examine our world and see the evil and deception that have overtaken it, we can truthfully say that God is numbering our days and the coming of the Lord is near.

As we close this year let us not forget that Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end and He is the first and the last.

His death and resurrection brought forth fruits in abundance.

You are His fruits so remain on the vine so that you will grow and flourish.

Never forget that:

You are more than a conqueror in Christ!

You are victorious!

You are the head and not the tail!

You are above and not beneath!

You are Woman!

You are Man!

You are God’s chosen vessel so establish a relationship with Him. 

 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV)

Finally, take some time off from your busy schedule to have some fun and laughter.

Remember Laughter is the best medicine and it is free!

Have a wonderful holiday season and whatever you do, do it to the glory of God.
