If you're like me, right now you're wondering where in the world 2010 went. It feels like just a little while ago we were heralding in the new decade. Now we are one year into it and welcoming 2011 with open arms. Something about a new year is refreshing. It has a way of allowing a person to forget what is behind and press on to what's ahead, but it can also be intimidating. Knowing what it may hold, and praying for things it will. You know... we hold the key to our success, in both the present and the future. We determine the course of our lives with a simple action that we don't often realize... our words.
In Proverbs 18:21 is says...
"Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit—you choose."
Pretty powerful, huh? With the words of your mouth you have the power to direct your future. So my realization of beauty in the new year is speak out your destiny. Choose your words carefully and speak life over your future. Is it easy? No, not all the time. I find myself regularly talking down about myself and my life, not realizing the powerful influence that it is having on my mindset and future. The good news is that our lives are held in the palms of the One who has more power than any earthly dominance. Even when we mess up and poorly choose our words, He still has a plan. He makes all things work together for the good of those who love him. So as we move into a new chapter of our lives, confess. Speak what you want to happen, don't give up and watch in amazement as your future lines up with your words.
