Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
As the final hours of 2024 approach, it’s natural to reflect over the past year. For some, it was a year of blessings and triumphs. For others, it may have been a season of trials and uncertainty. Yet, regardless of how we perceive the year, one truth remains constant: God was with us through it all.
Isaiah 43:19 reminds us that God is always at work, creating new opportunities even when we feel lost or weary. As we anticipate the beginning of a new year, it’s an invitation to embrace hope and trust in His plans for us.
Take a moment to consider how God has provided for you this year. Maybe He brought unexpected joy through a challenge, deepened a relationship, or answered a prayer you’ve held in your heart. Perhaps there were moments when you felt His presence most clearly in the quiet of your struggles.
The turning of the calendar is not just about starting over; it’s about stepping forward with renewed faith. The same God who brought you through this year is already preparing the way for you in 2025.
Pray
Lord, thank You for walking with me through every step of this year. As 2024 ends, I lay my triumphs and trials at Your feet, trusting that You are doing a new thing in my life. Open my heart to see the paths You are preparing and give me the courage to follow You into the unknown. May 2025 be a year of deeper faith, renewed purpose, and abiding joy in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
