Our "heart posture" matters! Righteousness matters! It matters in all that we do, and all that we say we are! It displays our character, and our ambitions or motives. It shapes our perspectives and determines our level of compassion. In essence, it is a true testament to "working our faith" and "trusting His plan!

How can we say we are His children, if we don't strive to better ourselves daily? We will never be perfect, but that should not be the reason we settle for complacency. Each day, we should strive to be better than the day before. We should strive to grow in areas were we fall short.

This is the "heart posture" of a soldier for Christ. One that understands that by His grace we are yet saved! One that understands that, "I once was blind but now I see!" This speaks volumes to those that are lost in their sinful ways because it is not condemnation, but understanding that "I once was lost too!" This is true discipleship.... this is our duty as believers to plant the seed, and God will do the rest!

We have entered into a new season, a new year, and hopefully with a renewed mind. The things of the old will not work in this new season. For there is a shift that is taking place, and we must adhere to the Holy Spirit's unctioning. We cannot afford to ignore, overlook, or disregard His voice. We must hearken unto His Holy Word, and embrace His Holy Will. If not, the burden of disobedience will be too great and our reward will be that which we have sown.

Yet, there is hope! Hope and confidence that living for Jesus yields abundance in every aspect of our lives. For every day is a blessing, and every opportunity we are given should prompt us to walk the path He has laid before us.

God has brought us all a mighty long way! He has blessed us despite of our sinful ways. He has kept us even when we disobeyed. Oh! what a Mighty God we serve! And for that we must learn to step aside, to move out of our own way, and Let God have His way in our lives! For anything else will surely be detrimental to our physical, spiritual, and mental health! So, join me as I let go of every dead weight that hindered me in 2025 so that I can soar in 2026!!

Happy New Year! New you! New Year! Same God! Let Him have his way!
