Today we
embark a new quarter, a new month, a new day. Looking back on the first three
months of the year, how would you evaluate it? Are you proud of your
accomplishments? Did you set short term goals and meet them? It’s important to acknowledge
small achievements and celebrate your progress, even if it’s one step at a time. Why?
Because you’re one step closer to where you envisioned yourself to be. No one
can desire it more than you. No one can see the vision as clear as you can. No
one can want it more than you. People can help carry out the vision for
you, they can assist you in accomplishing your dreams but ultimately it falls
on you because the dream is yours not theirs. Everyone has a place they’re
trying to get to, everyone has a destination assigned to them, and everyone
will be focused on their individual journey.

So, as we
enter a new phase of the year 2014, I ask you to re-evaluate your life and where it's headed. Ask the core questions that will give you clear and concise answers,
because those answers will shed light in areas that are still darkened with
doubt and confusion. Have the mindset of a champion that is focused and
determined to make it to the end victoriously. Only you know how far you want
to go. Only you know where you’re meant to be. We all have a purpose in this
life and God is the one who reveals and pin points every detail of our lives.
If you’re in sync with Him, you’re on the right path to living a purposeful
life.
Beware of
the roadblocks and detours that will try to redirect your path. Your path may
be under construction and you may have to be redirected into an unfamiliar path
but if you’re tuned in and focused to what God has for you, then you will
arrive to the right place, at the right time and the right people will be
waiting for you. Otherwise, you will end up lost, perhaps in a remote area or even in a place where you do not fit because that's not where you are suppose to be.
When in the correct path, be in
expectation of what lies ahead, for God has prepared your grand arrival. You
will not have to seek others; they will have already know of you and will be
waiting with open arms for you. Everything you need will have already been provided.
All of the resources and connections will be at your disposal and granted
to you. All you need to do is arrive!
When we are obedient to the voice of the
Lord and we walk in His perfect will and not ours, these treasures are made
available to us. Psalm 37:23 declares
that a man's steps are established by the
LORD, and He takes pleasure in his way. Proverbs 16: 9 says that we can make our plans, but the LORD
determines our steps. And Proverbs 20:24 states that the LORD directs our
steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?
I say all of
that to say this, our life is not our own, to God we belong. Our steps are ordered
by Him, our plans are to be submitted by Him and our lives are to be directed by Him. He is
the orchestrator of it all. When we are obedient to His ways, His path, and His
future for us, we become victorious and successful in all that we do, and everywhere
that we go. The bible says that He takes pleasure in the steps that He establishes
for us because He is so excited for us to see His grand plan for us. Can you imagine,
following God’s lead and at the end, when we reach the place where He intended us
to arrive at, He’s like: “ta-ra… This is what I had planned for you all along!”
I can only imagine because our thoughts are not His thoughts and if I think
BIG, He thinks B.I.G.G.E. R. !!!
Trust His Ways • Trust His Path • Trust His Promises
Be
Encouraged, Be Blessed!
