Go forward!" Exodus 14:15
Is not this a timely word for each of us as we enter into, and journey through, a new year?
We need to clearly realize that there is no such thing as remaining stationary in the spiritual life. If we do not progress – we will inevitably retrograde!
Dear friend, your history this year will be either one of going forward – or backsliding.
This new year will mark either an increased fruitfulness in your soul and life – or increased leanness and barrenness.
It will witness either a growing in grace – or a decline in your spirituality.
It will record either an increased love for the Word, strictness of walk and closer communion with Christ – or a growing coldness and a following of Him afar off!
Will we resolve to press into a deeper walk with the Lord – or let other worldly priorities distract us?
