New Year Hopes: How Do You Anticipate Your Near and Distant Future?

What situations do you anticipate you will encounter this new year that will be welcomed? Anticipation also foresees the probability of events that might be unfavorable. This coming year assures us it will be one comprised of political and social issues that will either agree or disagree with our beliefs.

We regularly evaluate our lives to assess what needs to change or be modified. As we evaluate and appraise situations and people, we must then decide what impact they will have on us. So as you approach this new year, what help do you need from God?

As you anticipate your near and extended future, are there particular promises you need God to fulfill for you? 

Matthew 6:32 provides assurance of God’s care. “Your Father in heaven knows what you need, so set your heart first on God’s kingdom and his goodness and whatever you need will be provided.” Happy New Year!

New Year Hopes: Where Is Your Courage to Move Forward?

You are now experiencing 2024 and may or may not feel differently than you did yesterday about your future, but where have you placed your hopes? It’s worthy to assess if what we permit ourselves to depend on is actually in compliance with God’s plan for our future.

We as human beings need objectives that are achievable from a realistic  perspective where success is based upon past experience. However, there are new ideas and goals we might want to experiment with, even if a proven background is missing that would verify success.

It takes courage to move forward to test what is possible with the financial and physical boundaries that must be honored. Listen to God’s words of encouragement. “When you pass through deep water, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned, for I am the Lord your God who saves you.” Happy New Year!
