What does your NOW, look like?
Goggle defines now as at the present moment or time. For the sake of this year's AWOGI theme, God’s Plan for ME in 2023 we are encouraging you to acknowledge the now, accept the new and anticipate the next.
With this reference in mind we ask that you consider "now" as the current season in your life.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us of this, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”
The rest of the chapter goes on to provide examples of "now" (times and seasons in life). There is a time to be born, a time for grief, a time to dance, a time of lack, a time of peace, a time to speak and time to keep silent—each pointing to a specific "now" experience.
As you enter and exit the various seasons of your life remember that the “now" in your existence is orchestrated by the Almighty God. You've entered into some situations because of your own doing while others are genuinely ordained by God, Himself.
Regardless of it's origin, "now" is a gift.
God is present in the mist of your "now" experience and He has an intended plan for your life. Continue to trust God and seek His perspective on the entire "now" situation. Then, follow Him towards what’s new and what's next.
Challenge: For the next few days take time to consider your "now" season:
- Ask God to help you to understand how the events of the past few months have played
a role in positioning you in this "now" stage - Seek God's perspective regarding your actions on this "now" page
- Follow God's plan of action in managing this "now" season
Acknowledge the NOW...
