“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3: 13-14
Fact 1: Do not consider yourself yet to have taken hold of it
To dare to step into the new year you have to know that no matter what you do, no matter how much you think that you are in control you cannot take hold of it. This scares me a lot. But you know God is in control. You might ask how was He in control when all these things happened to me? Was He even watching?
My friend wasn’t He in control when Job was suffering? Wasn’t He in control when Joseph was thrown in the dungeons for years? Wasn’t He in control when Jonah was in the belly of the fish? Consider this even, wasn’t He in control when Jesus went to the cross?
He was in control all the time and history rests in His hands. He is in control and He knows all of your hurts and pains…….And yes He was definitely in control in your last year and the evidence is that you are still standing because of HIM……. You are still standing because of his GRACE….The enemy tried to put you down but you are still standing……the enemy tried to silence you but you are still standing……..SO DARE to STEP Forward in Jesus Mighty Name. This is another gift for you to proceed so Dare to step forward……
