The Right Time 

New Year’s is a great time to redirect our thinking and reflect on things God has impressed on our hearts to change.  Letting go of the past is often difficult, especially when we like doing something.  

When SOFFY Ministries began, there were outreach programs we did to meet the needs of the area that were right for that particular time.  However, when God moved the ministry to another state some of those community outreaches were no longer necessary for what God was doing in our lives.  He let us know it was time to move with the anointing and where the Holy Spirit was working. 

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.” (Isaiah 42:9 NKJV) 

“Behold, I will do a new thing.  Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?  I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19 NKJV)

Take a look at what God was doing in your life that no longer seems to be working.  Maybe your part in that project has changed and God wants to stretch you beyond what you were doing. 

Get excited for the new things that God’s wants to bring into your life.  Any time is the right time for walking with God’s Holy Spirt.  Learn to move on when He moves you toward the prize of His High calling. (cw)

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended (taken hold); but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.” (Philippians 3:13­-15 NKJV)
