Isaiah 43:18-19 CSB
[18] “Do not remember the past events; pay no attention to things of old. [19] Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
2024 has come to an end, and today, we begin 2025. So many of us will start this year out strong. We’ll set goals and resolutions for the year. We’ll start reading our Bible, going to the gym, etc. but sadly, by February, we’re done. Our goals, aspirations, and resolutions for the drift away and we fall back into the same routine of previous years that kept us from reaching our goals or achieving our aspirations/resolutions. Nevertheless, let us start this New Year with hope.
The hope that this year, 2025, will be the year that we achieve and succeed. The year that we grow and flourish. Let us not be discouraged by the past years, for the LORD will make a new creation out of any willing soul. What do we need to do? Cling to hope and be fueled by determination. It’s not enough to want to achieve and reach new heights. We have to strive for it. We have to work to achieve it. Therefore, start this New Year off right, dedicating it to God, so that He might make the whole year blessed.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Start A New.
