🚜 Preparing the Soil for a Here is a good truth from the Holy Bible:—the manna is gone—and now it is time to create a new year.
When organizations hold onto old methods and past breakthroughs, they are trying to live on yesterday's manna. But just like in the wilderness, relying on old spiritual successes can cause our growth to stall.
God is a Creator, and He is constantly speaking new vision and fresh strategies into being. We must be willing to let go of the spoiled ideas of the past so that we can be empty-handed and ready to catch the fresh ideas He is pouring out right now!
If we try to carry last year's manna into this season, we miss the miracle of what God is providing at this very moment. Faith is a daily walk, not a trophy case of past events. When we wake up and seek Him for fresh instructions and fresh ideas, we are showing God that we trust Him to provide for us again and again. Let go of the spoiled thoughts of what used to be, and open your hands for the fresh bread He is raining down from heaven today!
When the Israelites were in the wilderness, God gave them specific instructions: gather only what you need for today. Those who tried to keep yesterday's faith (or yesterday's manna) woke up to find it had spoiled. This teaches us that we cannot survive on the spiritual breakthroughs of ten years ago; we need a fresh encounter with Him this morning!
"The miracle of yesterday was never meant to be the meal for today; reach out for the fresh bread He has prepared for your new season." > — Chaplain David |
