January is rapidly unfolding, and like many of you, I’m getting back into the rhythm of work and life after a few days of rest and celebration with loved ones over Christmas and the New Year. The start of a new year often brings fresh resolutions and goals.. a renewed determination to pursue what we want to accomplish. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!
In fact, the Bible encourages us to write down our vision and make it plain:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.” – Habakkuk 2:2
This verse reminds me that it’s not just about us setting resolutions but also about writing down the plans and purposes God has laid on our hearts. As I look back on 2024, my resolution for 2025 is to stay committed to the path I started last year. To keep building, to keep forging ahead, and to trust that God will continue to guide my every step.
As with many of you, I’ve begun this year in fasting and prayer. My desire is simple: to know God more! There is no greater joy or fulfillment than walking closely with our Creator.
If this resonates with you, why not consider these two practical steps to deepen your relationship with God in 2025?
Prioritize Daily Devotional Time
Set aside time each day to read the Word, pray, and worship. Whether it’s 15 minutes in the morning or an hour before bed, this consistent time in God’s presence will cultivate intimacy with Him.
Keep a journal where you not only write down your prayers and reflections but also record the ways God is moving in your life. This practice helps you remain grounded in His faithfulness and makes it easier to recognize His hand in your everyday life.
What are your plans for growing closer to God this year? What practical steps will you take to deepen your relationship with Him?
I believe God has incredible things in store for 2025.. both for us individually and as a community. May we walk forward with faith, hope, and the assurance that He is with us every step of the way.
Wishing you all a blessed and prosperous New Year!
