Obviously love God, love others, gratitude, praise, giving, etc. etc. All those basics we should always do, it’s like the base of the best ice cream sundae… BUT for 2021…after coming out of 2020…my sliced strawberries, chopped walnuts and chocolate syrup on top are going to be:
1. Surrender to God and Fight the good fight of Faith. Sounds like an oxymoron, but it isn’t. We surrender our will to His and then fight with the Word of God. Because the battle IS real; but the victory is assured.
James 4:7 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
I Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Paul uses active and forceful verbs to describe the Christian life. Flee. Pursue. Fight. Take Hold. Christianity is not a passive religion that says to wait on God. He’s already done His part. We must have an active faith, training, working hard, sacrificing and doing what we know is right. It’s like athletics which requires training and sacrifice. Our discipline and obedience largely define whether or not we will be contributors to advancing God’s kingdom or merely spectators.
Antidote: II Timothy 2:1 -7 “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus….join with me in enduring like a good soldier of Christ Jesus…soldier doesn’t get entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer…similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victory’s crown except by competing according to the rules…hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops…”

Spirituality - Double -Down on my Relationship with GOD
- Develop a deeper relationship with God
- Walk closer with God and feel His presence
- I want to live in the supernatural - in that realm where I hear from God and communicate with Him daily.
- Be open to how God wants to lead me in 2021

2. Be Flexible. Blessed are the flexible. Pliable in the Potter’s hand. Rigidity will cause you to break and fall apart. Seek to excel, YES, but perfectionism, stubbornness, are diseases that will destroy you. You HAVE to be RIGHT…! Afraid of failing or falling short, of making a mistake…they will keep you stuck in a quicksand that will pull you down by the weight of its heaviness right into the abyss. Sometimes you need to throw mud on the wall and see what sticks.
Psalm 52:8 “But I am like a green olive tree flourishing in the house of God (His presence); I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
Antidote: I Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you
