START THE NEW YEAR ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Colossians 3:13-14
13) Make allowances for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which fosters a perfect harmony among us.
Well, we’ve reached the end of another year. I’m certain some of us may have felt like we wouldn’t make it to the end, but as they say, “God wasn’t finished with you yet.” So, we persevere.
Now, let’s reflect on what we’ve accomplished and what slipped through the cracks. What didn’t we accomplish? What areas do we need to improve and excel in? If we were to reflect on our lives at midnight on December 31st, would we be content with how we’ve left things? Or would we have made different choices? Remember, it’s never too late. We still have a few days left, and we have the entire next year to make the necessary changes and avoid self-doubt at the end of next year. Just remember, you’re not alone on this journey.
Psalms 32:8
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Are you one of those who make New Year’s resolutions? The most common ones are: I’m going on a diet, I’m going to lose weight, and I’m going to start exercising and get into better shape. We’ve all joined the gym and gone religiously at first or bought the new exercise equipment only to find it buried under a stack of clothes six months later. Why do we give up on ourselves so easily? Do we stop going to church on Sundays just because we don’t feel like getting out of bed and getting dressed to go? I’m really glad that God doesn’t give up on us as easily as we do ourselves.
Psalm 119:7-8
7) As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should!
8) I will obey your decrees. Please don’t give up on me!
As we bid farewell to 2025, let us say goodbye to our self-doubts, poor decisions, those who bring us down, and bad habits. Let us welcome 2026 with positive thoughts, nurturing relationships, sound decisions, and above all, faith in ourselves that we can achieve our goals. And whenever we feel like we are failing or need a little help to get through the day, remember to seek guidance from God. A simple prayer offered up can lead you back on the path you were meant to take.
