New Leaf: Turning the PageSample

The Turning Point

Turning the page of a book says, I've read all that's on this page and it's time to move on to the next.

"Forgetting those things that are behind me, and I press forward to the things that are ahead."

It's time to make a turn in the right direction. 360 degree turns land you in the exact same spot. 180 degree turns land you in the opposite direction of where you were.

When I think about turning, I think about change. Nobody likes change right? I went through a season of God telling me it was time for a change. That particular change, was leaving my full-time job at the bank. I wrestled with the idea of that for months, until I finally caved. I decided Aug. 2nd, 2019, would be my last day on the job. I faced a lot of challenges in that season. But here we are, 5 years later, and God has been faithful to His promise.

One person that comes to mind when I think about change and wrestling with God, is Jacob. The introduction of Jacob, was as a trickster, deceiver, and a liar. But one encounter with God changed his whole trajectory, along with his name. Going from Jacob, the trickster; to Israel, which means "let God prevail."

As we talked about on Day 1, let God finish the good work, He started in you.

Prayer: Lord, I thank you for today. This is the day I turn over the reigns back to you; take control. I want to walk in Your will for my life. Amen

Action: Don't go back! Keep your mind stayed on God.
