“Expect great things from God & attempt great things for God! #2012 #greaterthings”
Above everything I could hope for you in 2012, my greatest prayer is that you would “Know Him Better”
————
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. (Ephesians 1:17 NIV)

My Prayer for you:
“God don’t let them just know about you & your greatness but let them experience You first-hand! Walk with them this year and each step unfold a part of who you are. God I know you already do this but this year I pray they wouldn’t miss it! At the end of 2012 I pray They have done greater things for you and stepped out in faith like never before but most of all that you would draw them closer to you this year like never before! Amen!”
For Katie and I we make it an annual tradition to take time at the end of the year to remember and write down All that God did for us in that year.
Verses like this one below is what inspires me to do this.
“Deuteronomy 4:9
​Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children.”
So with this in mind I encourage you to take a moment and thank God and remember His goodness & favor in 2011, it will lift your expectation for greater things in 2012!
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. (1 Peter 2:12 NIV)
Our lives are designed to be a billboard for the greatness of God.
Now our lives are a billboard whether we want it be or not. The question is, “what is the message your billboard is saying?”
Is your life a billboard for the glory of God or does its message bring shame of God?
Let’s not be fooled into thinking that our actions are indifferent or irrelevant. In every and all areas of our lives lets identify the message we are sending.
“the quality and health of my marriage, work, kids, friends, passions, hobbies , time commitment, church involvement and much more all tell a story.”
The great thing is they all CAN tell the greatest story ever told but that is up to each of us…
So what will you choose to write on your billboard This new year?
God has all of us on a journey of growth. So Don’t be anxious about all that you “wish” you knew, just dedicate yourself to what you do know…
Like James 4:17 says…
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:17 NIV)
