New Year… New Hope… New Expectations

“You have all that you require to be victorious within you..” I was really amazed by this statement when i came across it in Joel Osteen‘s book Becoming a Better You. It holds such truth that really inspires me and gives me light as this new year unfolds. It reminds me of Moses who was asked by God “What [is] that in thine hand?” What do you have? God will use the little that you have.. what you have in your capacity.. to raise you and to lift you. It also reminds me of the occasion in the bible Jesus fed 5,000 men (beside women and children) with only what was there; five loaves and two fishes! You have what it takes within you and i believe a journey of a thousand miles does start with one step. But by embarking on this journey with such an optimistic attitude, you need to walk with God every single way. He has to be at the center of every dream, plan, decision and direction you embark on and not at the periphery where in most cases we do place Him. We need Him and that is not a negotiation.
