“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2, ESV).<\/b><\/p>\n
Let me begin this blog by asking you: What are your expectations for 2025? Do you have a plan for your spiritual life? Do you understand God’s vision for your life? Each year is a new opportunity and a fresh season for conquest. That is why I encourage you to determine in your heart to make this your best year yet.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re unsure where to begin, I would like to share some tips to help you.<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Commit to Bringing Light Into Your Life<\/strong><\/p>\n God first brought order to creation by bringing light, the foundation for a successful new year.<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly, if you continue reading this passage, you will notice that God created the sun, moon, and stars several days later. So, what light is this verse referring to? It points to Jesus Himself\u2014He is the Light of the World.<\/span><\/p>\n “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life'” (John 8:12, ESV).<\/b><\/p>\n Notice what this passage says: If you follow Jesus, your new year will not walk in darkness. Following Jesus means dedicating the first hours of your morning to Him, engaging with the Word daily, and sharing the gospel message with those who need it.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Let Go of the Old<\/b><\/p>\n “And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so” (Genesis 1:7, ESV).<\/b><\/p>\n Some things cannot and should not coexist. God Himself created an expanse to separate them. Similarly, whenever we begin a new year, we must separate the old from our lives to make room for the latest.<\/span><\/p>\n
