For the majority of us, the start of the New Year is a time to make major changes, but life is marked by countless "turning points," times in our lives where we cannot stand still but where we also are almost too afraid to move forward. The future looks hopeful, and we know that once we set foot upon a particular course of action there will be no going back to what once was.
A commitment to "step out" requires a clear direction from the Word of God. It must be harnessed with the recognition in our life to see the need and desire to move from the way of life that we currently live into what is ahead.
What turning point is ahead?
Some turning points in life require us to move from one place to another, from one season to the next season. There will be many turning points in our lives—some a lot harder than others—and yet all necessary to bring us to the place where God would have us be.
We will all experience turning points in our lives and it is a process that every person must go through whether a Christian or not, even in business turning points take place all the time. The main component being that as Christians, we keep our eyes focused on God and what He is speaking and leading us in.
To live in the relevant future there has to be change; this is God's intention and gift of grace to us His creation. When we become a Christian we change from one state to another, we mature in God from glory to glory, we take on the characteristics of the gifts of the spirit and so we understand that the old has gone and the new is here to stay.
However the Christian life does not stop there.
Again, as we keep our eyes focused on God we will be aware of and open to embracing the turning points in our lives that are apart of this journey called life. And throughout life we will be called to step out and partake in many turning points.
