GO FORTH BOLDLY

The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion (Prov 29:1).

2010 is a year that will provide many opportunities for the people of God, but it will require boldness to step into what God has for each of us. Boldness is confidence in God, His Word, His promises, His power, His purpose.

We will be presented with many opportunities to show forth the power and purposes of God this year. In order to step out into these God ordained moments we will have to ask the question, speak the word, pray the prayer, and follow His promptings out of our comfort zone.

If we look through the lens of 2009 to view 2010 we will be hesitant to do anything.

If we look through the lens of the world news to view 2010 we will be filled with fear.

If we look through the lens of the economy of 2009 to view 2010 we will be filled with hesitation and doubt.

If we look through the lens of current circumstances to view 2010 we will draw back and look for safety.

If we look through the lens of the Word of God to view 2010 we will be filled with confidence and boldness in Him. We will recognize what He is doing about us and have an eagerness to join Him in what He is doing.

Let's go forth boldly into 2010 knowing that we have a mandate from God to manifest His Kingdom wherever we go. Let's exercise the boldness that comes from being clothed in His righteousness. Let's be the light shining in a dark place. Let's walk with the Lion of Judah proclaiming His kingdom, pursuing Him and His purposes, and positioning ourselves for His glory to be released.
