The year is coming to an end; somehow the end seems closer than ever. Days just seem to be flying and as a friend told me life is moving faster than the speed of light. Recently, I woke up with the thought of what do I need to do to succeed in the coming year. Many have began planning for the glorious days they desire to see ahead but all the plans will be of no use without this one key, namely PREPARATION.
Every chef will tell you that the secret to an excellent meal is in the preparation of the ingredients. Preparation is the key to successful execution of plans not just in the kitchen of a Michelin restaurant but even in life. As one prepares to enter the new year preparation will take many forms. One very important aspect of this will be the closure of matters that can easily be a distraction going forward. One cannot plan properly without closing matters that need to be put away in 2011. Don't allow the issues of the past to hinder your future Isaiah 43:18-19. As you prepare for 2012 take on the attitude of Paul who chose to forget those things that were behind and reach forward to those things that are ahead.
"Friends don't get me wrong: by no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got an eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward-to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back." Philippians 3:13-14 Message Bible
