Theme For Joel Osteen Devotional January 1 2021 – Say Goodbye
Today’s Scripture
Today’s Word
God told Abraham to leave his relatives and move to another land. I’m sure he loved his relatives. For a season, everything had been fine, but when God was about to do something new and big for Abraham, He knew that the people and things around him would try to keep him from what He had put in his heart. Sometimes you have to leave certain things behind so you can become all you were created to be.
Is there something you need to leave behind–a hurt, a bad attitude, or an area that you’re compromising in? Don’t bring that into the new year. Those things were in your 2020, but they don’t belong in 2021. You can’t go through life holding on to hurts, wrong attitudes, and people who are not good for you. Say goodbye to failure; this is a new day. Say goodbye to guilt; you’re forgiven. Say goodbye to what didn’t work out; God has something better. It’s going to be a bountiful, abundant, flourishing year.
