New Year? Same Plan

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

December 31st.

So which side of the fence are you?

Thankful for the year to FINALLY be over and praying that some new doors open and that GOD slaps on a fresh coat of paint soon? Or was last year a breakthrough year and you can’t wait to see what GOD has got on the horizon?

Whether you are looking for some new momentum or riding the impetus of some existing favor, one thing is sure. GOD has a plan. GOD has got it. Old year, new year, all years...GOD has your plan well in hand.

Psalm 139: 16

You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!

So this coming year, this day, even the time spent writing and reading this DISPATCH is part of GOD’s plan for us!

And we can be sure of one thing. The plan is good! Always GOOD.

Romans 8:28

We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him.[a] They are the people he called, because that was his plan.

Very good indeed.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Pastor Mark eluded yesterday that sometimes, especially at this time of year, we need to be REMINDED of the familiar. These verses are very familiar, but their TRUTH sinks deep when we are at crossroads like new chapters and new years.

So let the TRUTH of GOD sink in for a second. The calendar says December 31, 2012 and yes at midnight a NEW year will commence. But our GOD, your GOD, the GOD who crafted the cosmos, hung the moon and created the calendar is deeply invested in your plan for this coming season! And He is excited to see how YOU respond to what HE has in store!

And never forget, it has the promise of being something quite astonishing if we trust it!

Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!

I love you all.

Happy New Year
