He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap. 5 As you do not know what [is] the way of the wind, [Or] how the bones [grow] in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. 6 In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike [will be] good.

Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 (NKJV)

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. In order to thrive and achieve our goals for 2025, we have to be consistent. The power is in consistency.

When I read through Ecclesiastes 11, I am reminded of the consistency of the farmer. The Scripture above says that the person who is always watching the weather will not sow or reap. It goes on to say, “In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.”

Like the farmer, we have to be consistent regardless of outside circumstances. There will always be a reason why you cannot go after your goals. There will always be an available excuse why you cannot thrive in 2025. Refuse those reasons and excuses. Go after what God has for you! You will never obtain what you are unwilling to pursue.

Many of us have fitness goals for the new year. Fitness goals are good! I have a few myself. Working out and eating healthy in January is good, however it is more effective if you continue through February, March, April, and so on. The power is in consistency. You have to stick with it.

Today, take another step towards your goal. Refuse the doubtful reasons and excuses. Take another step forward. You can do it. You really can thrive in 2025! I’m praying for you!

This month, I’m encouraging you to read through Proverbs and Psalms 1-31 with me. Today, read Psalm 7 and Proverbs 7. I’ll keep a reminder at the bottom of the newsletter to help you follow along with the Faith+ reading plan.
