Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

When you lean on a wall, you innately trust that it will hold you up. And that’s what you’re believing when you lean on God’s Word. You’re trusting that no matter what you face today, whether it’s really good or really bad, that God’s tried and true Word, that has been around for thousands of years, will keep you standing firm. So, don’t be afraid, go ahead and lean on it…it’ll always hold you up.

Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.

When you see flashing red and blue lights in the rear-view mirror of your car, you know you probably broke the law. Well, the Lord doesn’t give you flashing red and blue lights to help you understand His law, He gives you His Spirit instead. And His Spirit will patiently teach you what you need to know, when you need to know it as you daily spend time reading it.

Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Trusting God is a big part of growing in your faith. His power is limitless. Do you believe that? It doesn’t mean we can ask Him for anything and everything and He will respond like a magic genie, granting wishes. It means that if we trust God, and seek His will in prayer, we will our requests become reality.

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

A relationship with Jesus does not come from following a set form of rules. It starts with knowing Him and seeing His hand in your life. As you walk through 2025, look for ways to live for the Lord, not for yourself. That often means leaving your wishes behind and seeking His will every day. After a while, you’ll being to see evidence of God’s goodness and thank Him for all He has done.

1 Timothy 4:13
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.

As we start a new year, you might be looking for ways to grow your faith. There is no secret or trick to knowing God deeper. Just stick to the basics. Paul gave great advice to Timothy, not only to grow personally, but to grow as a leader. Start by reading the Bible. It’s not only a great guide for personal life but is filled with information on how to help others grow in their faith too. You can start at the beginning, the middle, or even at the end. Every page of the Bible holds promises from God.

2 Corinthians 5:17
If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation.

How would you like to start life over? Well, you can. When you came to Christ, everything changed. Your old identity—shaped by sin, brokenness, shame, and fear—was replaced with a new identity rooted in the love and grace of God. The old has gone, the new has come and it can never be taken away from you!
