13 May 2023 - Frame it

Step three in making this year the best ever, is to frame it. When do we frame something? We frame something we are proud of, something that has value or that we would like to display so that others may see it. The frame draws attention to the picture, certificate or notification inside the frame.

According to the Oxford dictionary, the meaning of frame is a rigid structure that surrounds a picture, door, or windowpane. It is a setting, mount, surround, fixture, support, and stand. It is also a formulation of a concept, plan, or system. Formulate, draw up, plan, draft, map out, sketch, or work out.

So, how does this relate to our topic? We have to frame our decision. Once we know what we want, and know our vision, it must be framed with our faith in God that it will come to pass. We have to frame to serve as a constant reminder to us.

Hebrews 11:1 (AMP) Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen .

Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever comes to God must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.

Faith stands on the promises of God, believe God that He will come through, no matter what. Here are some promises of God that we can frame and trust that this year will be the best year ever.

Psalm 65:11 (NKJV) You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.

The Voice Bible reads: You crown the year with a fruitful harvest; the paths are worn down by carts overflowing with unstoppable growth.

Job 8:7 (CEB) Although your former state was ordinary, your future will be extraordinary.

Bear in mind, although God promises you a bright future, it will not be without struggles and problems. In difficult times when things don’t always go our way according to what we planned or thought, we must remember that God will come through for us.

Philippians 4:13 (CEB) I can endure all these things through the power of the one who gives me strength.

Psalm 34:19 (NKJV) Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

Psalm 34:19 (TLB) The good man does not escape all troubles—he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one.

Today, I close by framing one of the promises of God I already mentioned today - Job 8:7 (CEB) Although your former state was ordinary, your future will be extraordinary.
