Prayer
– Lord, another year gone—a new year beginning tomorrow. Bless my family, friends,
and neighbors in this coming year. Give us wisdom to search for You—for You’ve
promised that if we search for You—we’ll find You. Then help us all to apply
Your word to our lives as we grow closer to You in our relationship. That’s my
heart’s desire—to know You better and have a deeper relationship with You. This
is New Year’s Eve—I’ll be shouting for joy rejoicing for just knowing You!
May He grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers. Psalm 20:4-5.
Happy New Year!
Meditate.
Be joyful as you celebrate the New Year. Shout.
What
brings joy to your life? Are you celebrating on this New Year’s Eve? Have you
got your “plans” made for the coming year?
Let love be your highest goal! 1 Corinthians 14:1a
God wants
to give you what you want…your heart’s desires and success. Are you ready for
that? Just remember that He expects love and obedience. Those who plan ahead will
succeed. Those plans may need some thought and advice from others.
Plans succeed through good counsel;
don't go to war without wise advice. Proverbs
20:18
Commit your actions to the LORD,
and your plans will succeed. Proverbs
16:3
I once
worked with three gentlemen who were very goal oriented and they were not only
successful in business but they took amazing vacations, for which they planned
about a year ahead. One climbed a peak, Mt. Lhotse, near Mt. Everest. That was an
amazing lifetime accomplishment. Another collogue and his wife hiked, camped,
and fished in New Zealand. Memorable. Every year they took vacations that would
bring God glory in His realm. Vacations may not be the highest priority, but
they certainly provide the hearts’ desire for many people today. Retreats are
high priority to focus on God’s word, time and relationship building with Him.
What
are your plans? What is your choice on this final day of 2024…and for the year
of 2025?
Verse
of Salvation ~ This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad
in it. Please, LORD, please save us. Please, LORD, please give us success.
Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the house of
the LORD. Psalm
118:24-26
