Isaiah reminds us that while we remember God’s past faithfulness, we must also trust Him to do a new thing. The same God who parted seas can bring streams in the desert—and He is always making all things new.

Each morning we receive time as a gracious gift from God—a fresh opportunity to invest in His kingdom. Whether at work, with family, or among friends, we’re invited to live with purpose and bring God’s presence into our daily rhythms.

Through Isaiah’s prophecy and Jesus’ words in John, we are reminded of the coming new heavens and new earth, where sorrow and suffering will be no more, and joy will last forever.

As we step into 2025, it’s comforting to remember that God is both the beginning and the end. From the very start of creation to the final chapter of eternity, He is with us.

If the love of Christ has transformed us, then we must daily renew our hearts and minds and allow the Holy Spirit to bring to our attention any attitudes, relationships, or thought processes that are not consistent with the mind of Christ.

Paul Simon might have mused about how one can leave a relationship, but we can rest assured that our God is faithful and true and has more than 50 ways to bring deliverance in our times of great need.

They had no idea of the possibilities that would dawn on that day. Could it be that something life-changing is ahead for us today, too?
