Sometime ago, I saw a journal that belongs to a friend, she called it her gratitude journal, I didn’t want to open it because I believe it’s good to keep people’s private, private especially stuffs like journals. After thinking for a few seconds about what a gratitude journal may contain, I opened it and found out that it contained very detailed, little and big things that she was grateful for.
It’s a great place to start the New Year for me; it’s a good thing as well to be thankful. A lot of people are re-strategising, planning, laying-off or just faffing around, you probably expected to read here on how to go about making the best of this year (one should keep that in mind) that is if you don’t have your new year resolutions written down from cover to cover on a ‘60 leaves notebook’ or to read about something really unusual just like the title says; Let me just take your mind off that for a few seconds.
Sometimes I think to myself that apart from all the emotions attached to the festivity, there really is no difference from crossing over from maybe September 25th to 26th (oh! I’ll be a year older) and crossing over from Dec 31st- to Jan1st (hmm….! a new month). The truth is that Life still goes on! That particular date or year probably just ticked one second, minute or hour in God’s timing. I am glad that its new year and I really am grateful for it, but maybe God was just strategic when he was creating man, d nature of man to be ruthless without something to keep us in check (the law of God or man for example), foolish, unconscious of time and ourselves, wicked, selfish, unaccountable …etc (i.e. the Adamic nature of man and for those of you who believe man existed through Apes…well…). He needed something to keep us in check, to count the cost, to measure where we are, where we have been and how far we are from where we are going, to be accountable, to be wise, to keep record of our lives and every action, to know that there is an eternal consequence for everything we do….. He gave us TIME; he didn’t just give us time, he broke it down into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums……Wherever there is no law, there won’t be any form of unrighteousness, when the law comes, man becomes aware of himself and man will have to pay for his actions (good or bad). There is Time to keep us in check and measure our life, so it’s alright to plan for the New Year or make resolutions.
It is wisdom to take stock of every second given to us, leave behind the things we can’t change and lay hold on the treasure ahead. It’s a new year, it’s time to break up fallow grounds, and it’s another opportunity for us all to achieve greater heights. With a lot of revelations and prophecies here and there for this next phase, I strongly recommend that you just lay hold on God, trust with your whole heart and he’ll direct your path.
I am grateful to God that it’s a new year, but I am more grateful to him that he had an end in mind and that he was strategic in creation. The year 2010, is waiting for you to manifest.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
