The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, 15 To declare that the LORD is upright; [He is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in Him.

Psalm 92:12-15 (NKJV)

Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

2025 is your year to thrive. To thrive means to flourish, prosper, advance, make steady progress, blossom, and grow and develop vigorously. In order to thrive, we have to organize our lives. If we are going to thrive, we have to stop making excuses.

When things go wrong, it’s easy to make an excuse of why we can’t thrive. It’s easier to find an excuse than to find a way to thrive. If we are going to thrive, we have to make a quality decision not to be excuse makers. Settle this deep down in your heart today and say, “No matter what, I will thrive!”

You might ask, “Pastor I’m trying. But it seems like there is now way to go forward and thrive. What should I do?”

I’m glad you asked! When there seems like there is no way, remember your God is a way maker. As it says in the Old Testament, He is the Lord of the Breakthrough.

Here’s what you need to do today. First, decide not to make excuses. You are not an excuse maker. You are a champion in Christ. Second, ask God for wisdom to show you the way forward. Be diligent to do what you already know to do and in the added things the Lord shows you. Three, where there is no way, ask God to make a way for you. Four, thank God for His wisdom and His way making abilities.

I end today’s podcast devotional, praying a special prayer for you. I want you to listen to it and come into agreement with me. I truly believe that you can thrive and that God will make a way for you! You can stream it on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify. 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. Thank you for loving me so much that you care about the small things and the big things of my life. Thank you for granting me wisdom and for making ways for me. I will thrive in 2025! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Something good is going to happen to you today. Keep moving forward! Want more encouragement? Check the links below and share them with others. Have a great day!
