Jesus asked his disciples ‘How many loaves have you?’..... - Matthew 15:32
As the days shorten and the year draws to an end, the Scriptures invite us to take stock of our lives. We are the stewards of all that we have received. Life itself is a gift. Despite our many failings, the Father has adopted us as his children in his Son Jesus Christ.
I work in an establishment that takes stock every year?
It’s quite an undertaking, but so good for the management to see how the business is doing.
This really helps to see which was a good product and in demand, and which there’s no longer any use for.
Can you imagine the amount of time it must take to count what’s currently on the floor, what’s down in the basement in storage and factor in what has been sold or returned?
The establishment needs to close down for however long this procedure takes… painful and tedious as it is.
We, as Christians, need to do this in our very own lives as we see the New Year dawning.
It’s crucial to take the necessary time out with a close friend or mentor to find out what was strength and what was weakness in our lives to see if we’re still in the same place we were this time last year.
If you can’t find a friend to counsel you, ask the Holy Spirit; He is total truth, and cannot lie.
What changes did we make or accomplish, if any?
Where weaknesses still apply, we need to re-order; take back lost ground.
The Lord did say if we ask, we shall receive, and He freely gives.
This cost us virtually nothing, so let’s take advantage of the offer and get this job done, ready to open up for new business in our upcoming New Year.
He or she who takes stock of the past is at an advantage of doing better in the future.
It’s a beautiful Monday Morning, I declared you blessed throughout this week and beyond.
Do have a great week! 👌🏽
