Hopes, Dreams, and Goals for a New YearPrzykład

DREAMS REFLECT: In Isaiah 43:16-17, God refers to the exodus from Egypt, but in verses 18-19, He tells His people not to focus on the past but to look ahead. The Israelites thought that all of God’s mighty deeds on their behalf were past tense. Not true! Not only would the Lord bring them back from their exile, but He would fulfill all His promises, and one day, a Savior would come… Reflect on your own life. Where can you see God’s hand in your past? Where can you see Him in your present? Do you believe that He will do a new thing in your future? PRACTICE: Return to your journal and spend some time filling in your DREAMS—what big prayers will you pray this year as you look for God to do new things? PAUSE TO PRAY: Use the language of Isaiah 43 to praise God and to pray a big prayer for a big dream!
