MESSAGE
Human life is a journey divided into special segments known as the year. Each segment has its own peculiar challenges that must be solved or a person is stuck and frozen. Many people got stuck usually at the youthful segment of life’s journey because of the wrong choice they made.
Almost everybody agrees that no one knows what the future holds. That is why it is important that you know and follow God who is the beginning and end of everything (Revelation 1:8).
Life is also filled with problems strong enough to weaken one’s faith and confidence in God. The Bible says that those who trust and know their God will be strong and do pleasure (Danieo 11:32).
One may say that what made Samuel so fulfill God’s purpose for his life was that he began to journey with God from the beginning of the first segment of his life. His foundation was in God, and that life was built by God.
What is your foundation built upon? Is it on Christ or other things? You must assess your life and come to God today. Remember the Bible says if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do? You must make God the foundation of your life this year or it will sink in the end. Allow the God of the beginning to start the year with you.
He is standing at the door of your heart, knocking and waiting to see if you will open to Him. Will you not open to Him now?
REFLECTION
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
Mark 1:35 NKJV
The Lord during His earthly ministry started His day with God. Who then are we to start a new year with Him? It must either be ignorance or foolishness if any do that. You must start you journey this year with God.
PRAYER
Father, please go with me on the journey of this year.
