Heart to Heart: Possessing Our Promised Land
The new year is a time of new beginnings. It’s an opportunity for us to leave behind the previous year—especially if it has been a difficult one—and press forward into a new season.
I am reminded of a time when the children of Israel were about to begin a new season in their lives. As they prepared to enter the Promised Land, Moses said to them, “Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may LIVE and INCREASE and may ENTER and POSSESS the land that the Lord promised on oath to your forefathers” (Deut. 8:1 NIV 1984).
