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 need to stay on the path God has for our lives.

Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC) says, “For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”

As the Scripture says, there are good works and paths that God has prepared for you. You are not an accident. You are not an afterthought. God planned you and planned paths for you to take.

God does not plan failures. He does not plan defeats. He plans success and victory. That’s what He has planned for your life. He has planned for you to thrive, but you must walk His path.

What happens if you got off the path? Quickly repent. Ask God to forgive you and get back on the path. I love how the mercy of God acts like a GPS. What happens when you make a wrong turn following the GPS? It updates and redirects you. When you realize you are off the path and turn to get back on the path, God simply redirects you and gets you back where you are supposed to be. His mercy endures forever!

If you want to be successful in 2025, stay on the path God has for you. I share more on today’s podcast devotional. You can stream it on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify. Have a great day!
