THE WORD – A New Year to “walk worthily of God.” What does this mean for you and me?
After a year of many transitions and intense soul-searching, there is one phrase that keeps running through my heart and soul.
This year, 2016, I plan and purpose to Walk in Confidence in Jesus, moving towards the future and leaving behind the regrets of the past.
Notice I did not say leaving the past behind. For that is what shapes us. Our past is usually full of the good and the bad, the sweet and the not-so-sweet. But as we walk in confidence in God, He will use those experiences to mold us and make us, to conform to His divine image.
I have beautiful things in my past. I bet I’m not the only one. I also have hurtful, life-crushing trials. Sound familiar? The new plan is to leave behind….the regrets. If only. What if that was the wrong decision. Why did that person respond in that manner. Maybe I’ve totally missed God’s will….ENOUGH ALREADY! God knows our hearts and He promises to lead and guide us in all our decisions as we commit our ways unto Him.
Moving forward into 2016 with a portion of wisdom and knowledge:
- I can’t change another person. Only Jesus can do that.
- I know God is leading me because He has been my faithful Father for many years.
- And He promises to never leave me or forsake me!
- I leave any regrets or confusion at the foot of the Cross. I’m covered.
I’m weary of doubting my own decisions, I will WALK IN CONFIDENCE THIS YEAR! Will you join me?
Cynthia, I like what you’ve written about walking in confidence with the Lord. It goes along with what I’ve been sensing about my “word” for the new year and that’s PEACE! I feel that peace and confidence sort of go hand in hand. When we have confidence (trust) in the Lord then we are filled with His peace. I look forward to a year of peace regardless of what may come for my confidence is in Him! Blessings to you in the new year!

Cynthia — thanks for the wise insight and encouragement as we continue in 2016. It will be nice to walk in our Messiah with friends and sisters in faith.
