A good time to strategize!

Recently, my husband and I have been talking a lot about retirement and taking steps to make sure our assets and finances are in place so that we can do so comfortably went the time is right.

Then I came across this excerpt from my latest book DIVINE APPOINTMENTS: DAILY DEVOTIONALS BASED ON GOD’S CALENDAR and was amazed at how perfectly the current month of Iyar fits with what we were already doing! Iyar is a great month to strategize for the future and specifically to assess the ‘numbers’ in your life! Below is the excerpt, taken from Day 6 of the month. Enjoy!

“There are several recurring themes that will emerge throughout this month. The month of Iyar is about strategizing for the rest of the year. It is a time to move forward in one’s journey with the Lord. It is about revelation for the future, as well as a time to claim healing, provision and victory over the enemy. In the book of Numbers, Moses was commanded to take a census of the people. In this we see a specific and strategic move in planning for the future by taking stock of one’s assets. 

Scripture:  The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said: “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one. You and Aaron are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more and able to serve in the army. One man from each tribe, each of them the head of his family, is to help you. Numbers 1: 1 – 4 (NIV)

Prayer focus: For whatever purpose, I contemplate the numbers in my life. This may mean different things to different people, but whatever this looks like, I take stock of the various aspects of my life, especially those that are connected to numbers. I pray over the areas that You will begin to show me, and I ask for divine revelation about how I am to use this information to move forward for You. “
