Reflections of Obedience: Closing out the Year with Gratitude and Faith

As we approach the end of another year, I find myself looking back on the test and triumphs that God has brought me through. My heart is full of thanksgiving for the wisdom gained along the way. This year, my greatest focus has been on obedience- on aligning my heart and mind with who God has called me to be.

Reflecting on this journey, I am reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, which says, " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." These words have been my guide, helping me stay the course, even in moments of uncertainty,

This year has required me to strengthen my armor daily. I've committed myself to reading God's Word consistently, sharpening my sword for the battles ahead. Ephesians 6:10-11 reminds us to, "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Through this discipline, I've found strength, clarity, and resilience to navigate life's challenges.

As 2024 draws to a close, I am both thankful and expectant. Grateful for the blessings and the lessons. I look forward to the promise of a new year filled with God's grace and favor. I am confident that He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6)

Here's to stepping into 2025 with faith, gratitude, and unwavering obedience. May we continue to grow, learn, and trust in the One who holds our future.
