It can be the best year of your life if it is your best year spiritually. No matter the circumstances. We follow God.
Being discipled is a process - we go from glory to glory.
We look at Noah who moves forward.
Genesis 8:6
The ark came to rest on Mt Ararat on the 17th day of the 7th month.
God changes the 7th month to the 1st month when He delivered the children of Israel from Egypt. So on the 14th day on the new first month, they celebrate the Passover.
Jesus was crucified on the 14th day of the first month. Three days later on the 17th, He rose from the grave.
When we trust in God, there is REST for our lives.
That very day, the ark came to REST after 377 days!
Noah was ready to move forward.
Ravens - as it was not time yet, the ravens kept going back and forth. We cannot depend on ravens in our lives.
Dove - Symbolic of the Holy Spirit, the dove landed on the space that Noah created. We need to create space for God to move in our lives. We need to have faith.
We need to surrender to God.
It is His grace that enables us,
but it is obedience that moves us forward.
