THIS YEAR, Launch OUT

NOTE: DEVOTIONS

"launch out to the deep and let down your nets for a catch." -Luke 5:4

Mediocrity - the best of the worst and the worst of the best.
- ordinary, nothing special

Do I want my life to continue living in mediocrity?

- It is true that I have been quite competitive and had various dreams in the past but I have realized that as I got older my life seems to go downhill towards mediocrity. Ordinary is alright but that's how good as it gets.. Alright.

I want to be willing to leave the safety of where I am right now. I am comfortable, ordinary and safe. It doesn't make sense for the likes of me.

Hellen Keller once said, "Security is a myth. The reason we don't experience i is because it doesn't exist. Avoiding danger or failure is no safer in the long run than out-right risk. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

Launching OUT means setting goals, establishing a plan to reach them, and becoming accountable.

Launching OUT means staying in sync with God's will, confronting fears and discovering rewards that lie on the other side of them. It demands looking in the mirror, and respecting or correcting what you're becoming.

It is devoting your life to something greater than yourself, even when others don't understand.

This new year:
1. Recall God's goodness for the past year.
2. Learn and correct past Mistakes.
3. Pray for God's will for my life.
4. Set Goals.
5. Establish a Plan
6. Be accountable.
7. Get out of the boat (my comfort zone)
8. Trust God.
9. Launch OUT
10. Don't look back!!


In a way, I have lost my sense of direction the past 2 or 3 years. I have no time for regrets now. I want my life back. God is not finished with me yet. I may have put my life on hold. Kept on waiting, I sat there in wishful thinking that things will eventually fall into place. But I want CHANGE and that means I have to change a part of me (or maybe all of me) to achieve God's purpose in my life.

I will claim my life back. I will claim God's victory over y life.

Things will change. I may be a person who is full of fear but I don't want that anymore. It's time to fight back and claim what's mine. My destiny, God's favor, God's purpose in my life.

2012 means:

I will Launch Out into the DEEP ad Let down my NETS for a catch!!
