Once a year we reflect and ponder what has gone and what is to come.  What did you gain this year?  What was lost?  How many wounds were suffered and healed?  How many days spent in laughter, prayer, sickness or remembrance?  Who did you meet?  Who did you send off into the Lord’s Will?  How many new friends came calling?  Where did you move or how did you grow in the place God has planted you?  What was turned on and how many things were removed for lack of productive input or outcome?  How was your walk?  How many miles did you travel for Christ?  Do you remember or wish to forget?  It all matters not just the good stuff for life is a buffet not a plate prepared.  Did you get filled or spend time feeling empty?

Are you ready for tomorrow’s delivery?  What were your prayers?  Did you write them down in expectation of answer or deliverance?  How might love change you in the coming days, weeks, months and year?  How healthy is your heart?  Are you in disrepair from yesteryear?  Have you waited upon God and been renewed, refreshed, filled with hope, potency and potential?  Are you celebrating and if so then what?  How many children smile at the mention of your name, the sound of your voice or the sight of your face?  How many days does the Lord have to wait until you get around to the work He has presented you?  Do you have a resolution?  Do you take your vows seriously or do you need to reinvest toward objectives?  Upon which dreams are you wishing?  Have you built a stockpile of contentment?  It this an end or a beginning?

Who is Christ to you?  Do you act like you believe that statement?  Are you found among those ready, operating and doing the work of harvest or will you be found among those in the darkness, weeping and gnashing teeth?  What is your purpose?  Have you asked or hoped he wouldn’t tell you until you finished your current plan?  Where is the Body of Christ in your itinerary, your priorities and your forgiveness roster?  Who gets your attention God, the back yard, your boss, husband/wife or dog?  Is this going to be your best year yet?  Will you live it like it’s your last or as if it could be?  Where is your focus on the world, the funds, the house, the car or skyward waiting for his return?  Has he given you balance or have you asked?  What would you ask Him for if you only had one prayer remaining?

My prayer is for you to hear and obey His direction for your life and that I might be asked to encourage and support you in its achievement.  In Jesus’ Name
