We have come to the end of another year, and it’s time for reflection. My brothers and sisters in Christ, looking back, are you still in the same place you were a year ago? Where do we go from here?

For 2014 we will go forward in the strength of the Lord, not looking back with regrets, but looking forward with expectation, and a new sense of purpose. Things may not have worked out the way you wanted them to over the past year, but know that you are not a failure because of this, you are more than a conqueror, because for all that you have been through you are still here, all because of God’s grace. My brothers and sisters in Christ, put God first in all things and be confident in this very thing, that God’s grace is sufficient for you. No matter what you will face, allow God to go before you, he promised to fight all of your battles, but if you go before him, you will be without protection, and a year from now, you will find yourself in the same place. Will you trust God? I urge you to let go and let God fight all of your battles, allow him to go before you and prepare the way, and 2014 will be your year filled with blessings. Praise the Lord!
