How To Prepare!
"For Ezra had prepared his heart
to seek the Law of the Lord, and
to do it, and to teach statutes and
ordinances in Israel."
Ezra 7:
10
The end of December is a time of preparation
for this coming year. Resolutions are made.
Closets are organized. Calendars are synced.
The beginning of a new year is a natural
time for putting life back in order after
the busyness of the Christmas season.
This is a time when many decide to get their
spiritual life back on track as well. Just as we
prepare our home and schedule for what’s
ahead,
must prepare our heart as well.
Take time not only to prepare your calendar but
prepare your heart for what the new year
holds.
Spend time reflecting on what God has done
for you and continually ask for wisdom.
Determine to spend time in God’s Word daily,
obey Him, and also share the Good News with
others. Follow examples of Ezra and prepare
your heart to seek the Lord first!
"There is nothing that will enrich our
lives more than a deeper and clearer
perception of God’s presence in the
routine of daily living."
William O. Paulsell
