“The Awakening”
As we enter into another year, there
is always a sense of expectation
and wonder for what new and
exciting things God will manifest in
our lives. It’s no surprise that the
beginning of a new year occurs in the midst of the
Christian season of Christmas. Gods gift of Christ
symbolizes the beginning of all things new; new life,
new relationship with God and a new way of
viewing the world.
For many people 2018 was an amazing year and for
others it was a tumultuous year. During my personal
prayer time God spoke to me, 2019 will be the year
of a “Great Awakening” in the life of First Christian
Church. Psychologically, an “Awakening” occurs
while reflecting or actively engaging in something
that then catapults your focus to the future. As we
enter 2019, and experience an “Awakening” from
God, it will require trust, confidence, an optimism.
We must trust Gods plans even when we don’t fully
understand, we must remain confident in God’s
ability to provide what we don’t yet see, and we
must proceed optimistically with every assignment
God gives us.
In 2019, “Awaken” and allow yourselves to be used
by God. Reset your focus from where you are to
where God wants you to be.
Isaiah 51:9 states, Awake, awake, put on strength, O
arm of the Lord! Awake, as in days of old, the
generations of long ago!...
Pastor D. Marie
