There are changes ahead

"Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth."                                                                        Isaiah 43:18-19.  NKJV

The New Year is just around the corner which for some, signifies change as they make resolutions and promises of change that they want to implement in their lives. For some, it is, 'out with the old and in with new.' Promise of change that many will forget about in a very short while as they go back to how it was.

However, for believers of Jesus Christ, there are changes coming. 2019 may not have turned out as  you would have liked it to. There may have been sadness and frustration as you struggled with what was happening. But look out, change is on the way and this is change for the better!

In the UK we have some major decisions to make - who are we going to vote for? You may be feeling that politicians are all the same, say one thing and do another, promise this and forget it when they're elected. However, if you don't vote you can not complain afterwards. You must vote. But, seeking God is the way forward. He knows who is genuine and will make the best decisions for us. So why not pray for each leader and ask God to reveal to you who you should choose. Your vote is important because you want the right changes for our country and Europe.

For a lot of us, there has been decisions that we have made about our life and Christian walk. The decisions may not have been easy. But for you, accept that you have made the right one and move on. The way forward may be uncertain - what will 2020 bring; where will it lead me, and all that type of thing? 

I believe that God wants us to feel a sense of excitement because he is in charge and He is going to bring about something absolutely wonderful for each one of us. But to receive this and flow in this joy that He is about to bring to us, we must ensure that we are walking with Him and totally obedient to what he wants us to do. For some of us, it's like we have been forgotten and left by the wayside - rejected and alone. However, you haven't. Jesus knows all about rejection - the pain and heartache that is felt when all you've done is serve people and love them only to be cast aside like a piece of an old garment. Well rise up, Jesus is 100% for you and is raising you up. You're on His mind 24/7 and He intends to take your hand and lead you through an avenue of change that you never thought was possible.

Change is coming - for the better. You're not forgotten; you're not a reject or an after thought. You have a gift that only you can use and God intends to put you in a position so that you can flourish. 

However, I stress, do not walk off the path; be careful what comes out of you mouth; get rid of all bitterness and forgive because there is going to be an explosion of joy and happiness coming your way. Receive it because it is for you.
