MESSAGE:

It’s a new year! I know that you have plans for the year: now is the time to start. There are reasons you must start now, one of which is to avoid wastage of time because if you don’t spend your time on your goals, you will spend it on frivolous activities that will profit you nothing.

Before you know it, we will be in the last quarter of the year and if you start then, you might not achieve all your goals for the year.

So, if you intend to learn a skill this year, now is the time to start. If you intend to write an examination this year, you need to do a reading timetable and start following it judiciously.

However, it will be impossible to start anything if you don’t have goals to achieve and a plan that would help you achieve them.

Therefore, ask yourself what you would like to achieve this year and make plans that will help you achieve your goals. Ensure that you evaluate your progress at the end of each day. Also, don’t forget God as you make your plans. Ask Him what He would have you do for Him this year.

KEY POINT: Start now, don’t delay.

HYMN 12

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4.I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
