Well this year I’d like to challenge you make a God-sized
New Year Resolution! What exactly is that? Well a God-sized New Year Resolution
is a resolution that only God can make happen in your life; it can’t happen with
any man-power, only insane courage and Faith in God! That’s right! It’s a
resolution that can only happen by The
Grace of God! A few examples may include: becoming debt free while your bills
are showing years to be paid off, writing a book in a year while working
full-time, going to school and taking care of your family, or building a church
from scratch by years end; any and all of these resolutions would not only take
an act of God, but they will also take prayer, dedication and insane courage! (That’s
your part)!
I know that you, just as I, have made resolution after
resolution each year, and each year I depend upon self-effort to achieve them.
Well this year I’d like to challenge you to make that God-sized resolution and depend upon God to see it through. I’m not
saying you won’t have to put any action behind the resolution, but I am saying
once you place the petition and prayer, leave the rest up to God and when He speaks to you, MOVE! If He
doesn’t speak, then stay still and wait upon Him. The other thing that makes this
resolution different from any other one you’ve made in years past, is that it’s
not about having it completed by the end of the year! It’s all in God’s timing! All you have to do it begin!
God is sooo good at giving us what we want and desire, we
just need to get better at believing, taking Him at His Word and waiting!
Don’t worry, you aren’t doing this alone, I too have my
God-sized resolution that I’m going to place before God and pray for enough insane courage to watch it come to fruition. I
won’t reveal all the details of it right now, but I can tell you it has something
to do with me taking a vow of silence and poverty!
At the end of the year, (or longer if that how long it takes)
I’d love to hear your testimonies, what appears to be failure stories and of
course your successes, because I know my
God and He is not a man that He should lie! If He placed the dream or
resolution in you, then I know it will come to past!
Remember as you start
this year that this Christian walk is not about us, it’s always about God, but
in His infinite giving Spirit, He loves us so much that He desires nothing from
us but for us to accept Him, believe in
Him, and to give back to others what He has so undeservingly given to us, His Love
Grace and Mercy!
Love, Kisses and Teacups!!!
Always In His Grace!

Shall we post them or keep them to ourselves? I can't believe you want silence!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm just seeing this Cindy Dodd! But to start yes, A vow of silence is needed by all of us at some point to really hear the voice of God clearly! I love hearing from Him and sometimes the various voices cluttering my brain can be overwhelming! As for the Resolutions you can post them or if you please keep them to yourself! It's at your discretion! Thanks for the comment!
