We find ourselves at the end of another year. You may have grand goals for 2025, but before we flip the calendar and say goodbye to this year, it may be wise to reflect on the past year before heading into the new. What happened in 2024 that you have to be thankful for? Even if it was a tough year, if we look back, surely hindsight can help us see God’s goodness and care. What about growth? Was 2024 a year of spiritual maturing? In what ways did you improve your spiritual walk and increase your faithfulness? What struggles did you encounter that maybe you didn’t expect?
Taking time to look back can be a positive way to look forward and begin a new year. Use previous success to drive more growth. Learn from challenges and struggles to become stronger in the year ahead. And always remember to place your faith in God and follow Him every day He gives you.
