A Whole New World

It’s Friday again and many of you are already thinking TGIF!!! TIME TO HAVE FUN!

Great, that’s the spirit I’ve been pushing for; Be excited always, don’t let anyone steal your joy, hold on to God.

However, the events of the week (and the year, in fact) has me soberly reflecting on a lot of things this morning.

I’m learning that:

1.       The world is fast-changing, no more ‘business-as-usual’. Maybe it’s a sign of the End times, maybe it’s a sign of good times. Whatever it is, it appears God is showing all the Strategists, Smart Technicians and Brilliant Educators that He does what He wants irrespective of intelligent calculations or perfect predictions.

MORAL LESSON: Get your act together and stick to God like never before. No one has the power to predict anything in today’s world.

2.       Tenacity --especially when you ABSOLUTELY believe in your dream--  never fails. It may seem like you’re down and out, the whole world might be against you but keep pushing on, keep moving forward. Like they say, “It aint over till the Fat Lady Sings”

MORAL LESSON:  Nothing is irreversible until the final act is played out. Let me add that even if you discover you’re the only one who still believes in your dream, if everyone has left you, still move on.

3.       Your past doesn’t define you. If God wanted your life to be about the past, he’d have made one foot to face backward and the other to face forward, just in case you want to go back and JUDGE YOURSELF TO DEATH! Your feet face forward for a reason, God expects you to GO AHEAD.

MORAL LESSON: Stop looking behind or below, Look forward. learn the lessons from the past, but move on. He’s got you.

I don’t normally write Bible quotes here, but today, and irrespective of religion, I want us all to dwell on this verse in the Bible; 1 Corinthians 1: 27:

‘But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.’

We live in a New World my Dears, times are changing. Don’t be stagnant, change with it but let God be the compass of your life and you’ll find that ‘one with God is majority’.

Have fun this weekend but be reflective as well. Think about the next phase of your life, imagine what it might be like, pray and hope for the best, get your future plans into action NOW.

Take care Darlings.
