God wants us to thrive in 2017. God is calling us to open our hands. There is a new thing He wants to put in our hands. There are many new opportunities, along with many new challenges. In every season, regardless of where you find yourself, you can bear fruit, you can thrive. God’s goal for us is to become mature adults – to live to our full potential. What will help us thrive in 2017 regardless of our circumstances is our daily meeting with God. It’s in our daily meeting with God that we can hear His voice. To guide and lead us through challenges, to hear that we are loved.
