HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!

Tomorrow is a new year! It is a new opportunity to allow God to truly make us new!

“Look, I am making all things new!” Revelation 21:5

So, how do we THRIVE in 2025?

It’s not because of who is president or how far the interest rates drop. It’s not because of how much weight you lose or what kind of physical shape you are in. It’s not because of what new challenge you take on or new hobby you explore. It’s not how much you are on social media or how much you are off of social media.

We THRIVE when we pursue the spiritual disciplines that God has prescribed for us in HIS love letter!

It may sound too simple, but the Truth is it cannot be purchased online, it doesn’t come in a package or in a bottle and there are no quick “life hacks” or short cuts!

It comes when we commit to the daily disciplines that lead to spiritual growth!

They do not need to be rewritten, repackaged, or made to fit any new, psychological profile! 

They do, however, require discipline and commitment, but the outcome is irrefutable!

January 1st of 2025 is only a few hours away! If you want to THRIVE in 2025, then join me in committing to these spiritual disciplines!

TRUTH BOMB

The right habits to thrive in 2025!

1) Read God’s Word EVERYDAY!

It doesn’t matter if it is one verse, one chapter or even a whole book at a time! Just open up the Word of God and read it and claim it for that day!

2) PRAY

Talk with God every single day! 

Begin by thanking Him for a new day, it is a gift. Confess your sins and receive His forgiveness. Ask God for what you need and trust Him for the answer He will give!

3) GO TO CHURCH!

We were made by God to fellowship with Him and with others. We must be with other Christians to live out the “one another’s!”

Isolation kills. We need to be in community with fellow believers!

4) BE APART OF A SMALL GROUP!

Because we need each other and community, a small group provides the opportunity for us to not only hear the Word of God, but to discuss it, ask questions about it, and to learn from each other!

5) SERVE GOD

It might be at your church or it might be in the community. Just serve in the name of Jesus!

6) GIVE GENEROUSLY 

In order to advance the kingdom of God, we give to God through His church!

Bonus=spend quiet/silent time with God, just listening for His voice!

“Be still and know that I am God.” 

Psalm 46:10

When we commit ourselves to God and His purposes, then HE will lift us up, and we will THRIVE!

Praying for all of us to THRIVE IN 2025!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
