This is the time of year when I do a sort of reality check, looking back over the road just travelled. The theme this year has been immersion in scripture. 2005’s theme was developing my prayer-life. I think 2004’s theme was taking out the trash or finding all the loose ends and beginning to tie them off.
Looking back, it surprises me that 2 or 3 years ago I was struggling hard to develop some kind of devotional routine, and not having much success. Now it seems like my prayer and devotional time is the highlight of the day, and I can’t get enough of the scriptures. How did this happen? I think God must have done it. I remember praying desperately for it in the fall of 2004. I couldn’t seem to do it on my own, no matter how hard I tried. And nobody was able or willing to help. It could only be brought about by the action of the Holy Spirit transforming my mind and heart.
The other thing that really stands out is how my trust in God has been restored. I struggled for years with a sense that God had let me down and could not be trusted. But somehow, while I wasn’t looking, he has restored my trust.
I’m eager to find out what’s in store for 2007.
