Get to know God:
If you want to hear His voice and sense His direction, you'll need to improve your relationship with God. Don't let the stress of making a decision squeeze out regular prayer time with Him.
Establish God's priorities in your Life:
God is concerned about spreading the gospel message and growing the members of His church into Christlikeness. while your decisions may involve jobs, money, and life partners, those decisions should not be divorced from what God is doing in the world around you.
Know your ultimate purpose.
While you search for His will, don't forget that your most significant calling is to be a child of God and a member of His Kingdom. That truth should stay at the top of your list while you seek guidance on less significant issues.

It's Not About "Me"
If God had not changed my life when he did I wouldnt be serving his people like I am today, he is all I want to be devoted to NOT ABOUT ME.
How wonderful that God personally cares about those things that worry us and prey upon our thoughts. He cares about them more than we care about them.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

It's a New Year
In 2010 I want to pay attention to my reading because I find that careful reading and study lay a solid foundation for any teaching opportunity or assignment like the one I just had.
The Amplified Bible expands on the verse so it reads “Till I come, devote yourself to [public and private] reading; to exhortation [preaching and teaching and personal appeals] and to teaching and instilling doctrine.”
The New International Version underlines the public aspect of Paul’s challenge: “Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.” While The Message summarizes: “Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching.”
In all the versions there is a strong link between reading and both preaching and teaching. For Christian communicators who want their message to be as effective as Paul’s letters to Timothy in motivating and challenging others to grow in faith—the year’s reading plan can be based on a plan to read through the whole Bible.
How about you: “What’s in your reading plan for 2010?”I’m interested in hearing about your reading resolutions, plans, or other comments about reading in the year ahead.

Your Mourning will be Turned into Dancing!
This is one of my favorite promises in the Bible – that God turns mourning into dancing! He takes away the anguish of being clothed in sadness and replaces it with gladness. However, notice what God doesn’t do – simply stop your mourning and make it disappear. No, He transforms it…into joy! He turns your sorrow into gladness. He takes your failure and creates success! We serve an awesome and mighty God, who says, “all things work together for good to them that love Him, and to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Let’s take time to dwell on this promise. Our sorrows, disappointments, tragedies and failures are very real– but they are also “raw material” for a divine transformation that our Lord will accomplish in His time for His glory. And we WILL dance! God will do it. Our part is simply to wait…believe…and cling tightly to this wonderful promise!
