New Year - Resolutions?

A new year always brings about resolutions, new hope and dreams.  It is a new beginning, as we put the old year in the past and look forward to new things that await us.  I am not much on resolutions myself, but I do look forward to the new year with anticipation of what is to come.  In my bible reading I came across the verse below.  It got me to thinking, that maybe the new year is not so much about what I resolve to do, but that it is God's appointed time to do something. 

Genesis 21:2 NASB
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

In this verse, God had an appointed time for Abraham and Sarah.  Could it be that 2012 is an appointed time for you?  Remember that the birth of Isaac was a miracle birth. Not only because of the bareness of Sarah, but the age of both Abraham and Sarah as well.  They had the cards stacked against them.  And even though it was something they both desired, they could not resolve to have a child.  God had appointed the time in which Sarah was to bear a child. 

Could you dare to believe God for the miracle you been looking for?  Is 2012 your appointed time to establish new relationships?  Maybe it is the appointed time for a new career or raise.  Perhaps that new opportunity or open door.  Maybe it is your appointed time for healing to take place, or to experience His favor.  Be sure of this- There are appointed times in your life, throughout your life.  2012 could be that time for you.  I believe it is for me.
