As I was reading my Bible this morning, I was lead to the chapter in Isaiah (61) that talks about "the year of the Lord's favor". I was drawn like a magnet to the words in verse two that say:
"proclaim the year of the Lord's favor". Now wouldn't that be a GREAT New Year's proclamation????
WE NOW PROCLAIM THE YEAR
2011 AS THE YEAR OF THE LORD'S FAVOR!!!!!
What would you choose for the Lord to "favor" you with?
- Health
- Peace
- Security
- A deeper relationship with Him
- JOY
Our list could go on for a while, but why don't we simply ask God to favor us with HIS choice of blessings? Let's trust Him to give us what HE knows is best! The Bible says that if we are living in the center of His will, He will give us our heart's desires. But it says nothing about a time frame. His will, His timing! That's the hard part, isn't it? Waiting!
So, if we'll simply rest and trust in Him, then we can JOYfully anticipate His favor! Wheeee! I'm looking so forward to seeing what this "Year of Favor" is going to bring! Sure hope it's lots of JOY---along with anything else HE chooses!!!!!!!!!!!!!
