“Then what you had in the past will seem small compared with the great prosperity you’ll have in the future.” -Job 8:7
GOD’s Plan, Purpose, and Will for 2025 begins with a New Refocus and Restart in CHRIST. New Year’s is all about fresh new beginnings. Hebrews 12:2a says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” The word “fix” means to look away from other things so that you can focus all your attention on one object. What a wonderful way to begin the new year. To “fix” all your attention on GOD. It means looking in His northward direction and trusting Him to perfect your imperfections for His Glory. It’s a time to look for your Spiritual borders to be enlarged more than the year before.
Do you need a “New Refocus? The New Year is the perfect time to clean your slate and let GOD be the guiding light for a new beginning. A New Refocus comes with specific turning points in our lives. The main turning points are when you decide what is most important and how to get to that place that is most important to you. GOD loves it when we “REFOCUS to RESTART.” Because He knows those are turning points that are required to turn back to Him. I think GOD loves giving all His dear children a New Refocus so that they can experience a fresh New Restart in Him.
Maybe you need a New Focus and a New Restart in marriage, parenting, work, and your relationship with friends and GOD. Isaiah was a Prophetic Prophet with outstanding points. GOD inspired him to point out some successful anchors Israel needed for a New Refocus and New Restart in their relationship with Him. Israel was at a turning point, and GOD gave them three steps to take in order to return to him. Isaiah said…“Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders; raise a flag for all the nations to see.” -Isaiah 62:10 NLT
First, he said to use your Faith to smooth out the road. Second, he said let Prayer be your strength to pull out the boulders. Third, raise a flag with a determined plan and purpose in mind for all to see.
Remember:
None of us would be “saved” if not for GOD’s Amazing Grace filled with undeserved favor and His Love to all for all. (John 3:16)
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank you for this Blessed New Year. May it lend an opportunity to refocus and restart the year, keeping you first. May Matthew 6:33 be our strong anchor for this year. -In Your Matchless Name, Jesus, Amen.
