If there is one thing that you should do to make the most of 2012 - what would it be? The month of January tends to start the year off with a bang and then usually slowly fizzles as people begin to feel the pinch of their personal new year's resolutions - if they haven't aready given up on them already! Perhaps you've done exactly the same thing as this time last year and have found that maybe nothing has changed in life aside from the number on a calendar. But, if there was one thing - just one thing that you could do - to have all that God intends for your life - the blessings, the fruit of potential, the healing, the provision, the breakthrough - what would that one thing be?
I love Paul's writings! In the letter he wrote to the church in Phillipi he wrote about his 'one thing to do.' "But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."[ Phillipians 3 vs 13-14 - NIV] As good or as challenging 2011 has been, if we are to keep advancing personally in our lives we have to let go of everything that we've experienced and trust that as we do so, God can add more to our lives. Whether you need to forget a trial or a triumph, we must find the courage to trust that God has planned better things for us and for our lives. The best is yet to come!
