It's easy to say that God is our everything, but does He truly occupy the central place in our lives?
When I began to meditate on whether Christ is truly my everything, I reflected on how I had addressed and reacted to various issues, challenges, despair, fears, hopes, and dreams.
Having fears is natural, and feeling doubtful can seem easier, especially when faced with setbacks. However, Christ does one thing: He rolls our lives forward.
I've witnessed Him do this in my own life, rolling my life forward step by step, and filling me with hope and confidence.
Initially, I had desired a dramatic, rollercoaster-like movement, but He chose to work differently.
I often share a part of my story from 2024, which marked the beginning of my hope story. That year, I faced attacks on my mental health, finances, family, and job, and it seemed as though the crises kept piling up.
Doubts about God's goodness arose, my hope wavered, and anxiety intensified. Yet, amidst these battles, I found God, and I heard His voice.
God gave me a message of hope and a victory song. Although I have been a Christian for a long time, I recently made a conscious decision to make God the center of my life.
God desires to be the One revolving our lives. As the Psalmist said in Psalm 16:8, "I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
The Psalmist came to understand that when God runs our lives, stability is assured. His eyes were fixed on God, and God took the central place, plotting every angle of his life accurately.
A few weeks after crossing over into the new year, my sister shared with me, "I don't know why, but I have so much hope about 2025. God has told me that it will be the year of settlements."
That word has continued to resonate in my heart, and 2025 has felt like a gift package from God. This package is still being unveiled by Him.
So I ask you, beloved, will you make God the center of your life? God plots the best engineering graph, and imagine when He takes the compass of your life and creates beauty out of it.
Like David, we can say, "I have made God the center of my life," and with Him by our side, we will not be shaken.
Stay revived!
