Piece of Cake

Piece of cake. This is my statement for the year. After a rough year for me, for several reasons that I couldn’t list down here, this new year enters. At first I didn’t know what’s new to expect, I was barely struggling getting through things in my life, then last new years eve, I hesitantly went out to watch the fireworks. I don’t really  like the smell of  smoke and I’ve seen better views of fireworks display on better locations, but then something in me urged me to go out. I’ve seen fireworks so many times, but last new year’s eve, God spoke to me. “The year is started with fireworks.” This small voice kept on saying over and over… And I was like…” Yeah..”, nodding, thinking, seeing it little by little, till I fully understand what the voice inside me was trying to say.

Fireworks are only used as a celebration of victory - A monumental event that has taken place. A breakthrough. And we welcome this year with fireworks. Nothing has been done, no certainty, no winnings, and yet…fireworks.

The Lord spoke to me, and with tears in my eyes, I get it. This year’s finish has already been announced, and it is Victory. I win! From that moment, my perspective changed.  Every thing seemed doable..possible. I seem to be facing so many  concerns, challenges, goals, responsibilities and problems, and suddenly they look to me, as if they are good as done, a “piece of cake”. Not because I’m good, or I’m talented or strong, but because I am with a God, who sees everything as a “piece of cake” for nothing is to hard for Him. He’s done the hardest part. All that I will be facing with Him will be great adventures, exploits, conquests and miracles, revealing His glory!

I cant wait to see the goodness of God in my life coming to pass this year! Yeah!

“I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me? (Jeremiah 32:27)
