Hi my friends, welcome to Day 20, Reflecting on Your Progress.

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.960
Psalm 7711 says, I will remember the deeds of the Lord. Yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

3
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:18.800
We talked yesterday about gratitude and how when we look backwards at the progress that we have

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:25.600
made, it helps our hearts to be more thankful. See, reflection is an essential part of personal

5
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:30.880
growth. We need to take time to look back on the journey, which helps us to recognize the

6
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:36.160
progress we've really made and the lessons we've learned. Too often when we're always looking

7
00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:43.760
forward as a big dreamer or high achiever, we can miss the progress and the path that we have

8
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.920
actually gone through. God encourages us also to remember His faithfulness and the wonders that He

9
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.800
has done in our lives. You see, faith often is built in trust and what God has already done,

10
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.120
which then opens our heart to have more hope in the future. So today, set aside time to remember

11
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.240
your goals and the progress you made since the beginning of this challenge. Celebrate the

12
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:13.520
milestones you've reached or the small steps you've taken along the way and most importantly,

13
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.360
the growth or mindset shifts that have occurred. Acknowledge God's hand in the journey and express

14
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:26.880
your gratitude and thanksgiving for His guidance. So our activation for today is how far have you

15
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:34.480
come in your journey? Look back, whether it's over the last 20 days or it's over the last year

16
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:40.560
or so of your life and look and see what God has done in your life and take time, maybe journal

17
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.680
some of those milestones or some of those things that have occurred and ask God even for deeper

18
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.840
revelation and truth behind the progress you've made. And then also take time to celebrate. You

19
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.800
know, celebrate how far you've come since day one of this challenge, but also celebrate the progress

20
00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:02.160
you've made in your own dream journey. Sometimes again, like I've said, we can just always look

21
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:08.720
forward about what still has to happen and we discount, oh man, just the hugeness of what we've

22
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.960
accomplished to date. So let me pray for you, my friend. So dear God, thank you for the progress

23
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:20.160
we have made. Help my friends to just reflect on the goals and celebrate the milestones they've

24
00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.680
reached. May they acknowledge your faithfulness in their life and the wonders that you have done.

25
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.560
God, may we continue to move forward with confidence, celebrating the progress that we've made,

26
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.480
trusting your plans for our future and having hope. In Jesus name, Amen. Okay, my friend,

27
00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:40.240
I hope you have a great day and I will see you again tomorrow.
