This five day devotional will be taking a deeper dive into the sermon "Star Search" from this weekend by Pastor Tony Lee. Each day will explore the theme of 'Finally' and how we can prepare our hearts and minds for the blessings that 2025 has in store for us. Join us as we reflect, pray, and seek God's guidance in our lives.
Day 1
Isaiah 40:31 The first message for our week is centered around waiting on the Lord and how our strength is renewed in Him. As we head into a new year, it’s vital to recognize that waiting is not a passive endeavor; it is an active trust in God’s timing. We are reminded that it’s in our faithfulness to wait that we are rejuvenated and prepared for the blessings ahead.
In this season of waiting, reflect on how you can positively influence the people around you. Are you lifting your hands up in praise and encouragement to others? As 2025 approaches, let us commit to surrounding ourselves with joyful people and fostering an environment of hope and celebration for what is to come. Remember, God is working in unseen ways while we wait.
Day 2
Philippians 4:19 Today, we focus on living with the anticipation of 'finally.' It's essential to believe that God will provide in His perfect timing. This scripture reminds us that our needs are met in Christ, which leads us to consider what we are waiting for—perhaps a new job, a restoration in relationships, or even personal healing. Whatever it may be, let us not lose hope but trust that God is aware and is in the process of answering our prayers.
This day invites you to reflect on God's faithfulness in your own life. Have you had moments where you can look back and see how God made a way when there seemed to be none? Acknowledge those moments, and let them inspire you to keep faith in the promises yet to come in 2025.
Day 3
Romans 5:3-5 As we gather today, we meditate on how trials produce perseverance, which leads us to hope. This passage encourages us to rejoice in our struggles, knowing they are working toward a greater purpose. 2025 is coming, and with it, opportunities for breakthroughs and blessings. Embracing the process of growth is vital as we await our 'finally' moments.
Let us remind ourselves that God uses our difficulties to shape us. Trials are not obstacles; they are stepping stones. As you face challenges, seek to understand and embrace the lessons God is teaching you. Hope does not disappoint when it's anchored in Him.
Day 4
Jeremiah 29:11 The message for today is rooted in the understanding that God has good plans for us. As we reflect on this scripture, we are reminded of the hope and future laid out for us. It's easy to get caught up in our present problems, but by focusing on God’s promises, we can find peace in knowing that He is guiding our paths.
This day is a call to trust God with our futures, believing in His goodness even when we face uncertainties. As we move closer to 2025, let’s ask ourselves: are we making room for God to work in the ways He wants? Allow this contemplation to inspire you, creating space for new blessings and growth as we approach the new year.
Day 5
Hebrews 11:1 As we conclude this devotional, our focus is on faith and the hope it brings. Faith is not merely a feeling; it's an act of trust in what is yet to come. As we connect the theme of finally with faith, we remember that our belief in God's goodness and timing is what sustains us through each season of waiting.
In 2025, our faith can be the driving force behind our actions and expectations. Let's commit to believing boldly for the changes we desire, understanding that faith fuels our journey. Reflect on how you can embody faith in your daily life and be a beacon of hope for others. Pursue your 'finally' with an unwavering heart!
