He will offer guidance through uncertain times

Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. (Isaiah 42:9 ESV)

 Every December 31st, millions of people with the best intentions in the world make resolutions to change something about themselves over the coming year. Unfortunately, studies show that most people have already given up by February or March.
 There are seemingly endless articles by psychologists, self-help gurus, life coaches, and others, suggesting that the abandoned goals were actually upended by real-life events, or they were unrealistic from the start, or there was no accountability.
 These are all likely possibilities, but I think it’s often simply that we’re quite satisfied with the status quo. Much of our lives are spent on autopilot, and while it’s perfectly natural and normal to crave routine, there’s much to be discovered outside our comfort zones.
 One place that is always a sure source of encouragement toward growth is God’s Word. The Bible has a lot to say about the goodness of change and God’s presence with us every step of the way.
 Whatever changes or choices you face in your life, remember that God loves you. He created you in His infinite love and works in your life for your good, and if you look to His Word, He will offer guidance through uncertain times. —Ronan Keane [1]

  We tend to create clutter and remain stagnant when we are doing the same old things. When we begin to see things differently and look around us, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and new opportunities. —Julie Coraccio
