The righteous person will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courtyards of our God. They will still yield fruit in advanced age; They will be full of sap and very green, To declare that the LORD is just; [He is] my rock, and there is no malice in Him.

Psalm 92:12-15 (NASB)

Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

In 2025, we will thrive. To thrive means to flourish, prosper, advance, make steady progress, blossom, and grow and develop vigorously. You have to have the right mindset if you want to thrive. How do I know this? 3rd John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

The state of your soul directly impacts your health and prosperity in every area of your life. Your soul is your mind, will, and control center of your emotions. If our minds are not prospering and thriving, it will negatively impact our entire lives.

To develop the right mindset for 2025, we have to spend more time in God’s Word. This month, I’m encouraging you to read through Proverbs and Psalms 1-31 with me. Today, read Psalm 6 and Proverbs 6. I’ll keep a reminder at the bottom of the newsletter to help you follow along with the Faith+ reading plan.

In addition to reading God’s Word, we have to meditate His Word. We shouldn’t just read through it fast to get it checked off our list. As God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8, we have to meditate it. What does it mean to meditate on God’s Word? It means to think about it, say it, ponder it, and imagine it. As we read, think, speak, and imagine we are transforming our mindset. However, it doesn’t happen over night. It takes time and you have to put the time in to develop the mindset that will help you thrive in 2025. You can do it. You should it. It will be worth it.

Your success in this life is determined by what mindsets you build and occupy. I share more about this concept and how to develop the right mindset in today’s podcast devotional. Stream today’s devotional on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify to find out more. Have a great day!

Today’s Prayer 🙏

Pray this prayer with me today, “Father, I believe you love me extravagantly and you have great plans for my life. Help me to develop the right mindset for 2025. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
