2010 – A year of Promise or Uncertainty?
I am sitting in my office, sipping on a fresh pot of french press, veering out the window at the downpour of NW liquid sunshine. A time of reflection and contemplating what 2010 will bring. If it is anything like 2009, it will be a year of surprises. How you have perceived this year’s events in your life, may greatly dictate how you perceive the coming year.
From a natural perspective, the times in which we live are uncertain. We have no idea what will happen with our economy; it may rebound or collapse. There isn’t much hope in the near future for the employment issues to turn around either. Our political situation doesn’t seem very bright. The decline in morals and values appears to be on a continual spiral downward. If we look at this year through our “natural eyes” and attempt to interpret the onslaught coming our ways, it will have an adverse affect on how we move forward in 2010. Unfortunately, many will travel down this predictable path of uncertainty, living another year of “holding the fort” and “looking out for #1.”
The other option, which I highly suggest you consider, is to look at this year as a year of promise. A supernatural perspective will give you the ability to see this next year’s from God’s point of view. From his eyes, this will be a year on unprecedented opportunity. It will be a year where more people come to Christ. This will be a year where our faith is strengthened as God’s continued hand of provision is poured out on our lives. It will be a time to remember what is most important in our lives. It will be a year where we can fulfill God’s purposes in our lives!
The bottom line is that the choice is yours. Each perspective requires that same amount of calories. Will you choose to believe God for His unfailing promises to shower your life daily throughout 2010 or will you find a corner to mentally rehearse all the doom and gloom that might come your way. I choose to make this a year of Promise!
