Approaching the New Year
December, being the last month of the year, cannot help but make us think of what is to come. (Fennel Hudson, countryside author)
The closer we come to the new year, the less we think about what happened in 2025. Rather, we begin to focus on what’s to come in the next twelve months. We can’t change anything in the past, but we can learn some important lessons from it as we think strategically and plan for the future.
O my people, listen to my instructions . . . I will teach you hidden lessons from our past (Psalm 78:1-2). This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, . . . says: . . . “Come and learn a lesson about how to obey me”( Jeremiah 35:15).
