As I have entered this new year in my life, I am more determined than ever to stay focused on God. I am more determined than ever to do His will, without making so many mistakes. More than anything, I am striving to become more and more humbled and obedient to what He has called me to do. Having walked in many dark times/places in my life as a direct result of my disobedience and and rebellion, I am more determined than ever, to start this year off right-completely submitted to Him. And although God has carried me in/through every season (whether good or bad), I feel that one of the best ways to honor Him is to simply do His will for my life. I am so determined to be/remain cleansed and purified,as He continues to refine me, align me, and direct me in every area, every season of my life; further, allowing me to step fully into His purpose for my life. So, instead of making "New Year's resolutions"-that we more than likely won't keep (for various reasons)-let us instead, vow to do according to His will, not our own. Let us make it a point to live righteously and holy, acceptable unto God (Romans 12:1)! Let's
make the decision today to finally walk in all that God has called us to be, and to do! He releases His power within/through us, and in our lives, when we relinquish our own self-will and our own control, and trade it for His path for us, and His promises! Let's not wait any longer! It's a brand new year! Let's all decide to operate fully in our purpose! "The power of God's purpose is the place of God's power (Pastor Matt Hagee)!"
