Keep Your Bags Packed

As 2012 comes to a close, one thing is very apparent. Many times, as we prepare to travel to a new destination, we pack our bags in preparation for the weather or the season of the place we will be arriving. However, as we journey with God this cannot be the same mindset we use in life. While God may give us hints and glimpses of what He may have in store for us, we will never know completely where He is taking us. As in 1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV)

" But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Because of this, we cannot pack our bags adequately.

Therefore, SheRocks encourages you, as we encourage ourselves, to pack our bags full of the weighty things that would hinder us from walking in God's perfect will for our lives. We have no desire to see the same old tired wardrobe that is unbecoming and ill-fitting for the new season God is bringing us to; the wardrobe is outdated for a reason. For some of us, old wardrobe includes broken relationships, bad finances, difficult jobs, and/or a combination of all of these. We owe it to God and to ourselves to keep our bags packed AND let the door of 2012 close behind them, never to be opened, revisited, or unpacked again.
Let us take this time to reflect upon which things need to pass away so that God can do a new thing in us. A shift in 2013 is upon us, and we don't want you left behind because you were too busy unpacking your bags!
Love you! TGBTG!
