A Gift From God

This year of 2012 is a gift from God no matter how much of it He will allow us to live. God controls our very breath and every part of our being. Every created thing is under the control of Almighty God. Time itself is a creation of God and He gives it to whomever He desires. This year each of us will have a certain amount of time to give an account of. The bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)  To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: God will be the judge of how wisely we took advantage of the time we were allotted. When we say we don't have time, we are either calling God a liar or we have not made correct use of the time we were allotted. We will all have 24 hours a day for as long as we live. What we must do is prioritize the amount of time we have been given. We have all failed at times to prioritize what we have been given and thereby we have suffered loss.                                                      
Since there is a time for everything, we would be wise to ask God daily for His guidance in our lives so we would know when the time is right for each thing we must do. Our lives will be so much more blessed of God if we will ask His advice for each day we have been given this year. If we all do this, we will have time to do what God has intended for us to do. God has a plan for each of us at all times. The problem is we fail to seek God's direction for each day thinking this day belongs to me to do what I want to do. God will allow you and I to do that, but that's where the problems begin to arise. We are not to trust in our own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5-8 (NKJV)
⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
⁸ It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.
We would all do well to follow the advise of the wisest man to ever live. Let us this year trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding. If we trust in Him each day, He will direct our steps and there will be no regrets of any kind and we will be fully blessed of God. We are not to be wise in our own eyes because we don't know what another day will bring. Only God alone knows that. We should fear the Lord because He controls our destiny both in this world and in the world to come. Let's all be wise and seek God with all our hearts through bible reading and meditation, prayer, and church attendance and then we can experience God's best for our lives and the lives of those around us. God bless us this year as we follow Him. If you don't know God through Jesus Christ, then ask Jesus to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life to lead you and guide you each day this year and all following years that God allows you to live.

Then go to church and be baptized if you have never done that and beging to worship and praise God in that place and you will experience the best life has to offer. My prayer is for you to have the best year yet as you follow God.
