It is truly wonderful to celebrate a New Year. While it may seem daunting to start another year anew, we can view 2025 as a potential palette for positive change and enlightenment during our journey here on Earth as followers of Christ.

Amid the slew of New Year’s resolution that may be quickly forgotten, let us remember to commit ourselves, always, to following the Word of God and remaining steadfast in Him.

The great Charles Spurgeon has a wonderful reminder on this that is worth reading below:

“I pray God that a new year may not be begun by you in sin, but may God begin with you at the fall of the year, and bring you now to know his power to save.”

“Ere yet the midnight bell proclaims the birth of a new year, may you be born to God: at any rate once more shall the truth by which men are regenerated be lovingly brought under your attention.”  

“If this New Year shall be full of unbelief, it will be sure to be dark and dreary. If it be baptized into faith, it will be saturated with benediction. If we will believe our God as he deserves to be believed, our way will run along the still waters, and our rest will be in green pastures. Trusting in the Lord, we shall be prepared for trials, and shall even welcome them as black ships laden with bright treasures.”

May your New Year be blessed with peace and kindness, and may you turn always to the Word of God for wisdom and remember to pray daily over your loved ones and over our country and world.

“I see a highway cast up by the foreknowledge and predestination of God. Nothing of the future is left to chance; nay, not the falling of a sparrow, nor the losing of a hair is left to haphazard; but all the events of life are arranged and appointed. Not only is every turn in the road marked in the divine map, but every stone on the road, and every drop of morning dew or evening mist that falls upon the grass which grows at the roadside. We are not to cross a trackless desert; the Lord has ordained our path in his infallible wisdom and infinite love.”
