Step aside

Step Aside!
"After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
- Matthew 2:19-20 (NIV)
 

Regularly taking a "time-out" is highly rewarding. A retreat: A supernaturally ordained separation or time away from the usual day-to-day activities. This is a huge secret key to spiritual victory for it says to God "I am stepping aside for you to work".

The Lord had appeared to Joseph, warning him of impending danger and Joseph "took a retreat". He got out of God's way and in the end God dealt with his issue.
 
You may be going through a lot, you may be in the crosshairs of the enemy, you may be unsure of what steps to take in the new year, but rather than run frantically about, take time off to pray and fast on a regular basis.

Get out of circulation, as they say, and devote yourself onto a regular diet of some quietness, prayer and fasting. Make a habit of this and you will see such an intervention from the Lord that will amaze you!
