In exactly three days, we will welcome 2019. A new year filled with new opportunities; and you best believe, I don't plan to let a single one pass me by. In exactly three months, I will enter into a new decade of my life. One with territory I believe God is going to expand far beyond my imagination. How can I say that with 100% certainty you ask? Because God's word says in Ephesians 3:20, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
Not just that, who would not be excited to know that you have everything you need all in one. God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God as our Father lets us know He is there to protect and provide for us. Matthew 10:29-31 tells us, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. He is in our lives to make decisions for us."
1 John 15:11-12 shows us how much God really loves us; "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." Not only that, we rae reminded in Romans 8:34, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." These two scriptures alone has the song "Jesus loves me this I know" ringing in my spirit right now. All because the Bible tells me so.
Now, God as the Holy Spirit has many roles in our lives. First, Ephesians 3:16 tells us, "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;" In other words, the Holy Spirit is working in us giving us the strength we need to live for God. John 16:13 lets us know, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come," by this the Holy Spirit is teaching us the truth about God.
Most importantly, God the Holy Spirit teaches us not to be selfish. Instead, He is excited when we share His goodness with others; and because his is what He wants us to do, Acts 4:29-31 tells us exactly how we are to do it. "And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
So as you can see, the excitement of three is growing exponentially for me. I am looking forward to every assignment God has planned for me to complete. In 2019, I am determined to live fully committed. Committed to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
