How do you feel whenever you are met with a clean slate?
The first thing I do when I get a new book is take it under my nose and inhale its smell. Most of the time, I try to avoid writing in it, forgetting that I only need a new book because the previous one has been used up.
Often, I am left with two choices: continue from my previous notes or start a fresh topic. We might face this reality as we navigate life, the challenge of what to do with an empty slate. When that much-anticipated empty slate arrives, instead of fidgeting about what not to do or what to do or simply filling it up with a continuation of my previous work, I can choose to embark on something new.
Each day, in every moment, God invites us to come to Him. We do not need to present a finished product; He has already crafted a thoughtful strategy for you and me. To lay claim to that plan, we must approach Him.
Beloved, you may have labored through the first, second, third, and maybe the fourth month, and now here you are in the fifth month, feeling as though you're putting money into pockets with holes. Yet, God gives us one simple word: "Come."
Matthew 11:28 says
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Isaiah 1:18 says:
"Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
There is so much more God wants to give us if only we could come.
In this month, you don't need to fully grasp or understand the situation. All you must do is make one choice: "Come." Draw near to the River that has never run dry.
Stay Revived!
