Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my friends and followers. This is the time of year when many of us are looking at the blank slate of another year that is before us and we are listening and discerning where God may want to lead us in the upcoming year. This morning in my quiet, reflective time with God, I was reading Ephesians 1 and zeroed in on verse 9 where Paul talks about the mysteries of God’s will being made known to us. As I pondered this verse and looked it up in many translations, I understood the passage to mean that God will reveal the plans he has for heaven and earth and the work of Christ while he was on earth. As I thought through this further, the purposes he has for heaven and earth include the purposes he has for me. What I contribute is part of the grand scheme of Kingdom increase. So, I can personalize this verse and trust that he will reveal the mystery of his will for my life. Essentially then, it is possible to know and discern the purpose God has for each of us in 2024. Pretty awesome, isn't it? Blessings to all of you as you hear and obey!
