2012! I don't know how to describe my personal perception of the year so far...Though I lack the words, I think everything I felt was...Intense?
The year kept on calling me to be alert, to stand firm, to reflect, and to be grateful. The truth is, no matter how intense the challenges had been, the hand and presence of God was manifest much more intensely.
I guess that as the year draws to an end, you may start evaluating your plans vs. your achievements. But as you do, please remember 2 things:-
1. There may have been some things which you did not plan for, but they happened, even exceeding your expectations. Please put them in the "balance sheet".
2. The year is not over, not yet. You can still believe for a "last minute miracle" in specific areas of your life.
God is not bounded by time, and He can do His thing even when we think it is too late. The last minute miracle may be the physical manifestation of what you have been waiting on Him for, or just a Word from God that leaves you in faith, peace and encouraged.
2012 is not over until it's over. It will only usher in 2013, which comes filled with promises.
As the seconds tick by and we move on by God's grace, let us not be so consumed by our desires that we forget how good and how faithful God has been. We must have felt His hand in our lives or in the lives of those around us. May He crown the year with His goodness. May we align our hearts with His, that we may walk in His perfect will.
Thanks be to God... Words are not enough to describe how beautiful and awesome He is, but still I know He is...
