Message: Preparing for 2025

 

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

 

Message:

As we enter 2025, let us embrace the new year as a fresh opportunity to set goals, pursue dreams, and unlock creative potential—knowing that God has already set plans for our success. His Word reminds us that He is the ultimate planner, and He desires to prosper us and lead us into a future filled with hope.

Setting goals is an essential part of moving forward, but we are not called to do it alone. The Bible teaches us that God is a creative God, and He has endowed each of us with unique gifts and talents. When we set our goals, it is crucial to include Him in our vision and allow Him to guide us with His wisdom. Creative ideas and opportunities often arise when we lean on God for inspiration and trust that His direction is far greater than our own.

Scripture: Proverbs 16:3

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans."

This year, let us set goals that align with God's purposes for us. Whether it’s in our careers, relationships, spiritual growth, or personal aspirations, God has a plan for us that will bring us fulfillment and growth. Trust that when you commit your plans to Him, He will not only help you succeed but will give you the wisdom and creativity to achieve more than you could ever imagine.

Scripture: Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."

God has a vision for us that exceeds our own. As we step into 2025, let us allow our goals to stretch beyond what we can see. Dream big, set bold intentions, and believe that God’s power within us can accomplish far greater things than we can think or imagine.

 

Action Steps:

Pray for guidance in your goal setting—ask God to reveal His purpose for your year and show you where to focus your energy.

Write down your goals—commit them to paper, and make them specific, measurable, and aligned with God's calling in your life.

Stay creative—don’t limit yourself. Allow God to inspire new ideas, solutions, and opportunities. Be open to the unexpected.

Stay committed to Him—As you work toward your goals, stay close to God, trusting in His timing and guidance. His path will always lead to success, even when the road is not clear at first.
