I WANT YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT:

Try saying "I trust you, Jesus," in response to whatever happens to you. Try and think about the depth of God's loves for you. I dare you to at least let Jesus come across your mind at least once every day. If you can do that, you have mastered the the first step in knowing Him. There is one thing about knowing God and knowing about God. See, knowing about God is knowing when He came into this world, when He died, and what He did while He was still on this earth. But then there is knowing God, knowing how much He loves us, knowing His heart, His Power and Glory, knowing His every plan for you for your life. It's very exciting if you think of it. It's like God romances you every time you spend a little more time with Him and get to know who He really is. God wants us to see Him in every situation, acknowledging His sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective, through the light of my universal presence, fear looses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in Him no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from His hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting Him will strengthen your relationship with Him and keep you close to Him.
Psalm 63: 2 says, "So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. "See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and He rules with a mighty arm. See His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him. He tends His flock like a shepherd, He gathers the lambs in His arms, and carries them close to His heart, He gently leads those that have young." 


So as we are making are way into a new Year, maybe we can learn a new habit, rather than struggling with the fear of letting go of the old. God is right there with you through everything, His hand of grace will help you through it all. You can do this. You are a child of the King. You are loved and special and made in the image of God. Nothing can stop you. make a change and learn a new habit...I dare you.
