Every year thousands of people make new year’s resolutions. Many people start off with good intentions but, due to inconsistency usually end up not fulfilling what they set out to do. I would like to suggest something that’s not a new year’s resolution but, important to consider incorporating into your life. Reflection, preparation, and expectation are 3 things that we must do as we enter into the new season.
Reflection: Think about different things that occurred in your life from January 2014 until now. Do you see where you’ve grown in some areas? Conquered some challenges? Take the time to praise God again for every good thing that comes to mind. We are here today because of His grace.
Preparation: as we are quickly approaching 2015 I’m sure that there are some areas in your life where you would like to see advancement. Some of these areas could deal with spirituality, finances, health, business, education, relationships, etc. Write your specific areas down and make a concrete plan towards fulfilling them. Even if you have to take small steps towards reaching your goals just take the step; you’ll be glad that you moved and are seeing progress. By all means ask the Lord to help you in this process. He wants you to succeed.
Expectation: now that you have reflected on the things that God has brought you through in 2014 and prepared to see advancement in your life, it is time to expect to see greatness! Expect to see change for the better. Expect to see improvement in your life by this time next year. Ask the Lord for a spirit of expectation. Thank Him for every bit of progress that you see. Remember, He has great things in store for you.
Reflections
- What are some of your testimonies that occurred this year?
- What are 3 areas that you are committed to working on consistently? Don’t get stuck here, if 3 are too many to commit to at one time then work on one or two and once you’ve conquered those move on to the next one. You can do it!!
