Next year is just ahead. When we think about stepping into a new year, we may be met with a lot of different emotions. I think it is comforting to remember that whatever we encounter down this road, GOD IS WITH US! In fact, He goes before us too to make sure it is exactly what He wants for us to experience.
Have you ever prepared a scavenger hunt or left notes for someone to find? It is delightful to think through an adventure and leave them surprises along the way....just imagining their finding the things you have left for them is wonderful....but, being able to be with them when they find it....now that's where GOD has an advantage :). I read a quote from Billy Crystal once and I saved it because it was inspiring to me....He said, "My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love" :) His statement reminds me of this verse:
If you, then, though you are sinful, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!
~Matthew 7:11~
It seems strange to think God is already journeying into 2016 and beyond for us, but it is not impossible for Him.....maybe He is making your rough places, smooth....and crooked places, straight....maybe He has left a miracle in 2016 for you...isn't that an exciting thought?! Have you asked Him to do that yet? Whatever He is preparing for you to experience in 2016, it is a part of His perfect plan for you....but, the best part is that His hand is outstretched...we don't have to walk it alone.
"Ready my heart for everything that's coming my way"
Steady Me
