TRY SOMETHING NEW .

“YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO SET A GOAL OR TO DREAM A NEW DREAM” .C.S.LEWIS

Someone once said, never be afraid to try something new. Sometimes we are tempted to give up because whatever we are doing doesn’t work .when that happens we have to try something new .As long as we are making progress in life, we will have new opportunities and face new challenges. We have dreams and goals that we want to pursue, but we also need solutions to challenges that we experience along the way. If we know what to do, then we need to do it; if we don’t, then we have the privilege of trusting god to guide us. The bible says we are to do what the crisis demands and then stand firmly in our place (Eph 6:13). Do what you can do and god will do what you cannot do.

Many times we say we want something new and then when the new things come, they frighten us. New experiences and opportunities can be very daunting, but they don’t have to be. If we insist upon clinging to old methods, ideas, relationships or mindsets and refuse to accept or embrace the new, we aren’t going to progress in our lives.

You remember that God chose Joshua to succeed Moses as the leader of the Israelites and take them into the Promised Land. God gave him the daunting task of leading an entire nation into a new place, a place where they’d never been before. They knew they were leaving behind a terrible oppression and hard labour as slaves in Egypt, and they heard they were headed to a land flowing with milk and honey, but they had never seen that land before.it was going to be new to them. Their story, even though it took place thousands years ago, that teaches us some important lessons about new experiences in our lives today.

The first question we need to ask when we face a new situation is, Is this Gods will for me? “The second is do I have inner peace about this” we also need to ask ourselves if we sense his presence in the new situation. If we believe it is Gods will, we can trust God to provide everything we need each step of the way. We need to “follow the ark’ instead of following our personal desires, fears, emotions ,our good ideas or the advice of others. We follow the ark by taking one step of obedience to God after another.

I’d rather follow God into a new and comfortable place than remain in a place that is no longer for me. . .
