Consider The Source // Permission Slips
pandemic, tumultuous elections, racial and social tensions…it’s been quite a ride. Now generally, January is a time of optimism—people are hopeful, believing the best about the future. But all of that craziness we’ve endured has led to an understandable unease about the upcoming year. You may be one of the millions who are wondering: “Will 2022 really be any different? How can I be confident about my future in the middle of so much uncertainty?” The good news? You don't have to limp into the new year with anxiety. God has given you permission—permission to hope, dream, and believe in the new year. No matter what comes…this year will be your year!
So why should we be so confident about the future? It’s simple. Our “why” for our confidence is actually a “Who”—Jesus is the sole reason for our optimism! You see, our permission slip to view the future with hope is signed and validated by Jesus himself. We can boldly and confidently step into the future, knowing that Jesus himself goes before us preparing the way.
