Now it is 2014 and it is the first Sabbath of the new year. I felt that it was time to pick back up where I left off. I wanted to start this blog up again and have been waiting for the perfect chance to do so. This is it.
Isaiah 63: 1-3 says,
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the suffering and afflicted. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted, to announce liberty to captives, and to open the eyes of the blind. 2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of God’s favor to them has come, and the day of his wrath to their enemies. 3 To all who mourn in Israel he will give: beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory.I took this as a challenge in my own life in 2014.
- To bring good new to others.
- To comfort the brokenhearted.
- To announce liberty to captives.
- To open the eyes of the blind.
- See the beauty instead of ashes.
- Feel the joy instead of mourning.
- Always praise.
This is my challenge. This is how I want to live the next year of my life. Seeking opportunities to offer these things to others and to my family. I know that with God's help I will be able to focus my life around these goals and He will provide me with the chance to do so.
My plan is to blog once a week about the opportunities I was given. To discuss the things that God has opened my eyes to, and to openly talk about the beauty of God's word and what He has shown me through it.
I can't wait to begin this journey. I pray that you will join me!
