I have been praying and meditating on this upcoming new year, and what does God want for me as well as for His church here at South Attleboro. I believe that we need to people and a church of great faith in 2009! That we do need to start decreeing the blessing of God for our lives and church as we continue to make a greater impact on this area. This is not the time to shrink back, circle the wagons, but this is the time when we need to make use of every single opportunity that God will give to us in 2009!
Hebrews 11:1 tell us - "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." We do not see what is ahead of us, and that is why we need to hold on Jesus and walk with Him into this new year!
When I read the Word of God - Faith is Risky Business!! There is nothing easy about taking risks! Faith is obedience to God no matter what the risks that we must face in 2009! Mark Batterson gives a definition of obedience, he says, "Obedience is a willingness to do whatever, whenever, wherever God calls us."
God never promised us a life where there will be no risks!!! As we go into 2009, let us be up to the challenge of every risk that comes our way, and walk in faith and obedience to God!
I pray that God will give you the courage to meet every risk head on and to be more than an overcomer in 2009!!
