There Is Still Time! Go For It!

"There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth."

~ Ecclesiastes 3:1 (The Message Bible)


Christmas day is gone. JOY is still here. JESUS is still here. One thing that won't be here much longer is 2009. We are approaching a new year. For some this exemplifies a new beginning, a greater level, or even for some closure to a past that no longer wants to be remembered. Whatever this new year means to each of us and how we want to accomplish what we want to accomplish it's so good to know that it's never too late...

2010! Wow, that sounds so weird right now. I mean, to think on how fast time moves ahead with no permission. Hello!! Wake up call. Time waits for no one. I know you know what I'm talking about. If you do then you know that sometimes fear tries to take over and make us think that we are racing against time. We are so gullible and believe that. Why should we race time when we know we cannot? It'll win every time. Knowing that it will win will make us fear. Listen, what we can do is RUN WITH time. I learned that we can only do so much in a set amount of time every day. Each of us have the same amount of it so it's not like we can borrow some from our bff's (friends) or relatives. Remember the scripture the race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but to the one that endures to the end? Well really quick let me quote the whole verse, the unedited version. Here it goes... "I saw something else under the sun. The race isn't [won] by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise people don't necessarily have food. Intelligent people don't necessarily have riches, and skilled people don't necessarily receive special treatment. But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them (Eccl.9:11)." Running because of time is frustrating and makes fear greater. Running with time will get you where you want to go, understanding that everything is in perspective and that there is a season and time for everything. Even though we have to work time, make plans, follow through and PRAY God has a way of making it come together, :-), when it's time.

Remember when I mentioned that we shouldn't fear? Well here's the reason why, God holds time in His hand. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith.. Fear tries to cripple us because of how fast time seems like it's going and how we haven't mastered or done what we were supposed to because of our past mistake, procrastination or being held back by unfortunate events in life; no need to fear...He will restore to you the years the canker worm and the locusts have stolen(Joel 2:25). God will restore you and alllll the years that you thought you lost. When we acknowledge Him in all our ways He will direct our paths. God will establish us. He will give us insight. He will show us what steps we ought to take. Don't fear, there is still time.

So the trick is...there is not trick. You must give it to God. Let Him be in control. Grab a hold to time and let the Lord be your guide. Instead of fearing it, let it take you into a land of holistic prosperity. Hey, one thing about time that we won't ever fear is how there is ALWAYS time to get things right. So in this new year, 2010. Trust God, make plans, follow through and run WITH time.

God bless in all that you aspire to become in this New Year, 2010, in Christ Jesus our Lord!!!

Pray with me...

Father in the name of Jesus. In this last week of 2009 give us what we need to go into 2010 so that we can start and finish this new year with a greater understanding that will lead to even greater accomplishments. Accomplishments from wanting a cleaner home to wanting to show more love unconditionally to finishing high school or a degree to being an entrepreneur and the list goes on Lord. Father empower us for this new year. Make us what you have designed us to be from the beginning. Thank you for 2009 and all that we went through and the lessons we learned. Now take us into another dimension. In Jesus name. We love you Lord... Amen.


Happy New Year Everyone!!! GO FOR IT!!!
