7 Steps to Certainty: Step 3 – Know God as Never Before

Are you feeling somewhat aimless and floundering? Or lethargic? Maybe your hesitancy in moving energetically into 2021 is due to uncertainty we’ve all felt due to the year we’ve just completed? In the midst of all life’s uncertainties, here are 7 Steps we can take to find certainty in the New Year.

1. Create Simple Routines
2. Set Personal Goals
3. Know God as Never Before – Sometimes we seem to forget that God is a God who wants to be known by us. We are promised, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

Every day we make choices. These determine our future. We can choose to seek God and come to know Him intimately. Jesus knows what our broken world is like, but at the same time makes a promise only He can keep. He says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; but I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

While the enemy of your soul works evil in this world, God is always waiting to provide you with the strength, peace, love, hope… and the abundance you need. It’s your choice.

I honestly don’t know how I would make it through each day without first spending time with Jesus, discussing life’s promises, claiming His promises, praying for those we love, and listening for His direction. Knowing Him is the very essence of life itself. He says “I am the way, the truth and the life.” Choose to build a love relationship with Him. You will know He alone holds the key to life itself and find a certainty that no one else can provide.

4. Pursue Personal Health and Wellness – COVID has offered all of us time to really consider our health and wellness. More people are cooking at home than ever before enabling them to create healthy, nutritious meals rather than grabbing the quick, fast meal due to busy lifestyles. I know as Reen and I watched the cold of winter approach we bought a #SlimCycle stationary bike to ensure consistent exercise. Take control of your eating and wellness habits to offer the certainty of structure in the midst of uncertain times.

Don’t miss #5 next week. This one alone will change your life in 2021.
