As we step into the seventh month of the year, a new season of enlargement, covenant fulfillment, and divine encounter, the word of the Lord is simple: remember.

Reading: Deuteronomy 8:18

"Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers." — Deuteronomy 8:18

Without God, no amount of striving can make a person truly successful in the way that matters. As we step into a new season, we should not enter casually. Four things to do at the start of a new season:

• Pause and reflect on what God is saying about this season.
• Give thanks for the goodness of the months already behind you.
• Seek God's direction for what lies ahead.
• Dedicate the days ahead to Him.

Forget the Past, Move Forward in Faith

"I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race." — Philippians 3:13-14

Forget yesterday's failures and yesterday's victories alike — both can weigh you down from receiving the new thing God wants to do. Walk in covenant obedience, and be strong and courageous, for the covenant of God remains stronger than any circumstance.
