A new year filled with hopes and dreams and new beginnings. It's with great anticipation that we wait on the Lord for direction, as we seek to follow where He leads.
What assignments will the Lord have for you this year?
What challenges lie ahead of us?
There is certainly the component of the unknown.
What we do know is that God's word is full of His wisdom, guidance and promises
that will help us on this journey through 2023.
Glean from these scripture and let hope arise in your life for this new year.
For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord,
plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
As believers we serve a God who created us with destiny and purpose.
We can rest in the knowledge that we always have new beginnings full of hope.
Don’t remember the prior things; don’t ponder ancient history.
Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it?
I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness.
Isaiah 43:18-19
There comes a time when we simply have to let go of the past and look
forward to a fresh start. Maybe for you that means you need to forgive
someone, or seek God's healing touch for a hurtful situation.
Choose to walk in freedom this year.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence.
Know him in all your paths, and he will keep your ways straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
God desires for us to simply trust Him.
Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord! Bless his name!
Share the news of his saving work every single day!
Declare God’s glory among the nations;
declare his wondrous works among all people."
Psalm 96:1-3
Share the good news, let this be one of your primary goals.
Sing the song of your testimony of the goodness of God in your life.
