Sometimes we have to get out of our everyday borders of comfort and protection and step into the unknown or 'unsafe' to get some holy refining done. Desiring change or desiring growth may not be enough to do the job - sometimes our spiritual eyes need to be opened and it may only happen through a circumstance God allows into our lives.
These unusual circumstances are where faith grows, doctrine gets tested and refined, we expand the influence of the Lord through us and we learn new ways to use our gifts.
In the coming year, don't back away from new experiences. You may get thrust in or you may have a choice in participating. Either way, these circumstances will reveal evidence that God is living and active in your life and He continues to have interest in your personal growth and relationship with Him and others. Just get your holy gumption on and get before the Lord for wisdom on how to maneuver the rocky road ahead.
Handle all of the difficulties with Holy thinking, prayer, and Holy motives. Stay focused on Him. Don't let unholy emotions conquer you as you go through the fire. He is your Source and Rock...and at the end of the tunnel of refining you will see Him more clearly and love Him more dearly.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
