If you are like me, I spend a lot of time going over what I could have done, should have done. These memory rehearsals change nothing but I hope I’m learning to do better, tk trust our Father more intensely, to seek His wisdom. Retrieval of mistakes and regrets are far less important than anticipating what God will do in and through us. I’m hoping 2024 will be a year we acknowledge His leading and work like we have never experienced before. May He do new things and lead us into them.
“Now, the typical way to measure your potential is to compare the size of the problem to your natural gifts and your track record so far. No, it’s not irrational to measure your potential this way, but for the believer in Christ Jesus, it simply isn’t enough. By grace, God doesn’t leave you on your own. He doesn’t leave you with the tool box of your own strength, righteousness, and wisdom. No, he invades you with his presence, power, wisdom, and grace. Paul captures this reality with these life-altering words: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).” - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional
