DECEMBER DETAILS

Yes, I did fold my hands a lot this year and let things slide or wait for them to happen to me… somehow!

But, it’s worthy of note that God has been good and so faithful to me this year; More faithful than I have been to myself. That’s the reason why I’m still here in my right senses writing about it.

What I called disappointments this year was actually God saving me from bad relationships! And they’ve been a handful, I tell ya!

The jobs and admissions that didn’t work out were all God’s way of pushing things that were not on my path to destiny out of my life. He is gracious.

He carried me throughout this year, supported my weight through every storm, saw me through all my heartbreaks and gave me grace to forgive and release myself! Amazing

It’s December now, and most of us have started to take stock of our lives.

Some of us haven’t quite hit our target and we are working thrice as hard to get there...Sometimes, working so hard that we forget the people who really matter like family and friends and we stand the risk of losing that special relationship.

Some of us put our time, energy, and resources into plans that started to go well and they just crashed all of a sudden!

Some of us have been waiting for a promise to be fulfilled… waiting like for years!

Some of us feel pretty good about how this year turned out!

This is what God says to us:

To those who are waiting, He says “But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised…for I know the plans I have for you” Jeremiah 29:10, 11

“This plan of mine is not what you would work out… my ways are higher than yours” Isaiah 55:8, 9

“Those who wait for me shall never be ashamed” Isaiah 49:23b

To those who didn’t have things go the way they expected, He says “I will give you abundant water for your thirst and for your parched fields. And I will pour out my spirit and blessing on your children” Isaiah 44:3

“… When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown” Isaiah 42:2

To those who think they had a splendid year, He says “But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I’m going to do; for I am going to do a brand new thing!” Isaiah 43:18, 19

Yes! It’s December, the end of the year when we start to pay attention to details. However, there is good news!

Every NEW day brings with it NEWNESS!

There’s an opportunity to start over, to get it right this time, to forgive and to restore.

So, look forward to each NEW day with expectation and happy New Year in advance!
