Text:John 1:46:
" And Nathaniel said unto him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said unto him, Come and see."
It is natural for people to judge things based on what they see, hear, feel or experience. People also depend on history to explain certain things. While the people outside God's kingdom always base their judgments on facts and logic and reasoning, it is not always so for those who belong to God, especially when it contradicts the word of God.
Nathaniel had preconceived ideas about Nazareth. But when Philip brought a different testimony, he was surprised but he still stepped out in faith. And the result? He became part of the glorious ministry of Jesus!
With the prevailing situation all over the world, many people have different conclusions about the year but God has a different message. Many good things abound within the year but it is only available for those who debrief their minds from preconceived ideas about the year and look to God's promises for them. We are confident of this because "out of the eater came something to eat and out of the strong came something sweet" (Judges 14:14a). We shall partake of the good of this historic year. We are victors, not victims!
Shalom.
