As we prepare for a new year, let's look back at 2024 and see what God did for us. Let's leave the concerns and clutter there and put our hope in God. Psalm 39: 7, "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." God's plans for our future are good plans. Jeremiah 29: 11, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" God's compassion is new every morning. Lamentations 3: 22-24," Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” We are to trust our future with God!
God will provide what we need when tribulation comes. Isaiah 43: 19, "...I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." God will use these trials to mold us and make us who He has intended us to be. He uses our own mishaps, failures, regrets and sin but He does not want us to be bound to our past. When God saves us from our sin, He frees us from the guilt and shame of our former life. We are a new creations with a fresh beginning.
God's grace is sufficient. 2 Corinthians 12: 9, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." God will guide us if we let Him. Isaiah 58: 11, "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Psalm 25: 5, "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."
Let's expect great things knowing that God wants the best for us.
