Truly, there’s so much the Lord has in store for you to enjoy in the coming year. Look forward to the New Year with faith and joy, for greater glory lies ahead, and it completely outshines the victories and triumphs of yesterday. Refuse to allow the seeming failures, weaknesses, and disappointments you may have experienced dissipate your enthusiasm and faith to win. Set your goals and focus on the Spirit and His Word. Don’t focus on the past.
Look ahead. Raise your vision. The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow are enemies of today’s happiness. Position yourself aright for a triumphant life by keeping your gaze on, and living in the Word. Refuse to give up on your dreams. Proverbs 4:18 NASB says, “...the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” Believe and affirm this as the reality of your life. Your journey in life is upward and forward only; no disappointments, because “...we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Cheer up! The future is bright. See yourself walking in righteousness and producing works and fruits of righteousness. See yourself fulfilling the will of the Father, pleasing Him in all things as you receive and run with the Word for the year.
