As the sunsets on another year, the sun will rise on a new year. 2017 will soon be in the past as we begin to look forward to what 2018 will bring. Tomorrow night at midnight a new year will rise, one filled with many hopes and dreams, excitement and anticipation fills the air for many. Yet for others 2018 is another year filled with disappointments, hurts, pain and dread. To be honest it doesn't matter what year is it or what year it is or what year is done, nothing changes for many of us. We make New Year's resolutions that we don't keep, we make plans that we never follow thru on, there will be dreams that will never come true because we just don't have faith that good things ever happen to us. Yes another year has come and gone. As we look back on yesterday and look forward to tomorrow we must realize that our attitude has everything to do with how we perceive what was and what is to come.
A negative or a positive attitude will determine how our year ahead goes. It's easy to look at everything that went wrong and everything that is going wrong and worry about what may go wrong. But I'm challenging you to look at things with a positive attitude this New Year's. Look at all the good that happened to you in 2017. Even if there is only one good thing that happened this past year, dwell on that. Even though 2018 don't look promising yet, focus on the endless possibilities ahead.
Dream dreams again, hope against all hope!!! You see there is a God above that has amazing plans for us but when we constantly dwell on what went wrong, when we continuously complain about what happened or didn't happen, our plans are altered and it's no one's fault but our own. The Israelite's turned an 11 day journey into a 40 year nightmare because of their attitude and their constant whining and complaining. They could have been in the promised land in 11 days, instead it took them 40 years.
Don't let 2018 be another year filled with whining and complaining. Don't let 2018 be just another year of going around the same dumb mountain. Don't miss out on the promised land because you have a better idea than God.
