In this message Caleb will preach on three 20:21 verses in the Bible John 20:21 (Peace) Exodus 20:21 (Close to God) and 2 Chronicles 20:21 (Victory through worship). Do you have to make a New Year’s Resolution before New Year’s? Well perhaps that is true, but I believe that this is still important to make a goal even if it is January already. In fact, today by the end of this video I want to you have written down three goals. These can be three goals that you want to do this year. For me I believe that it is not too late to start a New Years goal. ​John Maxwell once said, “A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.” What are you passionate about? Whenever we see a need for something, we need to see an opportunity. This can be God using us to be His hands and feet. ​Say this out loud, under your breath, I want a vision from God. When we seek God, we will find Him. When you seek the Lord, He will guide you. You may say, well I’m just not sure what God wants me to do this year. Well just do something until you figure it out. If you don’t know where to work, just work on getting a job or work at a temporary job. Later you can move to a different and better company. ​Proverbs 29:18 tells us, “18 Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is one who keeps the Law.”Another translation says, “the people perish” without a vision. Make a goal to read the Bible in a year. Whenever I read the Scriptures, I am filled with joy. It is also important to write things down. When we see things written down, we are able to remember them better. Some of the best people that shop at H-E-B are the ones who take a photo of their fridge and pantry. They can zoom in and remember what they need. Having a list will help us keep the vision on our mind. ​Having a fresh vision is important. I recently order a box of Wheaties to place in the upstairs game room at our church. I figured it would look really cool. I found one with Michael Jordan on it. It was perfect. It was from 1990 and is now 30 years old. When I got it, I noticed it was making some sound when I shook it. Yes it still contained the cereal on the inside. The owner had kept the food in the box. It was never opened. If I were to get a bowl and eat that cereal, It would probably taste horrible. This is a reminder for me that just as we need fresh food, we need fresh vision. ​This is a Biblical principle as well because this is what happened with the Israelites were given manna. God sent bread from the skies and they would only keep what they needed for the day. In the same way God has grace for us every day. Let us wake up and acknowledge the supply of the Lord. ​Success does not always happen immediately. It happens through habit and the work of God. When we are with God, we do not have to be afraid. We can enjoy the Lord and how good He is. ​So begin today to decide that the first week in January will not be the only time that you follow your goal. Take time today to write out three goals. Keep them reasonable, avoid general goals, and make them specific. If you are ever in Bay City, TX, make sure to check out High Five Church. We are a grace-based non-denominational church.
