Going into a thing without God’s clear word will amount to groping in the dark. There is no surer recipe for stumbling than working in the dark. In addition, when what you are doing runs into a storm, you will be able to calm it if you got a word at the beginning.
The last two meditations dealt with reset and restart respectively. These two will still be inadequate to deliver on the promise of a better year without this: Refocus. Seriously, more people fail due to divergent pursuits.
The second important factor for a better year is RESTART. Whenever we are called to restart, it is a call to either fix what went wrong on previous occasions or make some additions in order to have better outcomes.
The hope of a better year will have to be anchored on what we can call the 3 R’s. Firstly, there has to be a RESET. While this may include several things, an essential aspect where a reset is compulsory is the mind.
There are things that you haven’t seen yet. Tell God to open your eyes to them. There are things you don’t know yet. Ask God to teach you.
