The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18 (NLT)
Are you ready to start your best year ever? Whenever people ask me what I think the coming year will bring, I always respond that it’s going to be my best year yet. I don’t say this because God told me or because an angel appeared to me. I know this because God gave me His word on it. And He gave you His word as well.
He said that your path is going to shine brighter and brighter every day (Proverbs 4:18). He also promised that He will fulfill the hopes and dreams He placed in your heart (Philippians 1:6). According to the promises He has made to you in the Bible, you can go after, believe for and bring about the greatest year you have ever had.
A lot of people have swallowed the religious rhetoric that we as human beings are nothing—worthless beings who were only made valuable by Jesus’ arrival on the planet. But Jesus didn’t come to make us valuable. He came to prove how valuable we already are.
Jesus came to give His life for you and me because He valued us so greatly! In fact, He knew you were coming right from the foundation of the world. You may have been a surprise to your mom and dad, but God planned for you and He created you with natural gifts and abilities (Psalm 139). He knows the potential He has placed in you.
I don’t care how old you are—you have potential. Today, make the decision to achieve the potential God has for you. Rise up, believe, get a vision for what you can do and go for it!
