As we step into a new year I believe we can look forward with hope and expectation. Whether 2010 was a good year or a bad year, an easy year or a hard year, the year 2011 can be a great year.
As it says in Lamentations, the loving kindesses and compassions of God never fail. They are new every morning. God’s heart is for His people and not against them. Well, 2011 is a new day and a new year filled with God ordained opportunities to advance God’s kingdom.
How do we step into those opportunities and the destiny that God has for us in 2011? Paul answers that question in part in Ephesians chapter 5…
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children” (Eph 5:1).
God is calling us to carefully study and examine the life of Jesus Christ, and to ask Him to empower us to live as He lived. Paul goes on in Ephesians 5 and gives us this counsel…
“Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise making the most of your time, because the days are evil" (Eph 5:15-16).
Take care how you live your live and make the most of the time and resources that God has given you. Use these resources to step into the eternal destiny that God has for you in 2011. Even when faced with adversity we must advance God’s kingdom. Take a hold of faith and reach forward for your eternal purpose and destiny in 2011. God has great things for you!
