I am coming to learn as I get older, that I need to take care of myself. As a pastor who loves people, and wants to help people, I have a tendency to forget about taking care of myself. I am really working on that this coming year. Because I will not be good to anyone else, if I do not take care of myself.
I want to encourage you to take care of yourself this year, so that you can be healthy in every area of your life.
What are some ways that you can get healthy this year?
#1. DO YOU REALLY ENJOY GOD AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, OR IS IT MORE OF A ROUTINE?
God wants to be enjoyed by His people, not endured by His people! We were created for His pleasure. Our relationship should be one that blesses both sides. We read in Revelation 4:11 - "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and power; for thou hast created all things (you and me), and for thy pleasure they are created."
#2. AM I FULFILLING GOD'S PURPOSE AND PLAN FOR MY LIFE?
When I stop to realize that God has a good plan for my life, I will not worry and fret but will be able to trust in His will for my life. His Word tells us - "I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and not to harm you."
#3. REFUSE TO LIVE WITH DREAD, DESPAIR AND DISTRACTIONS THIS COMING YEAR!
Matthew 6:33 - "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."
I want to encourage you to get spiritually healthy, and start that process today!
Connecting with you,
Pastor Ron
