What can we expect in 2025? 2024 was not really reassuring.
Global crises such as the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East, extreme weather conditions, economic uncertainty and situations in our own lives are keeping us busy.
And yet, at midnight on December 31, we slide into the new year completely passively. There is nothing we can do about it or for it. Or can we? Can we perhaps take an active approach to the new year? Where can we find stability and peace in our lives?
I would like to share a quote with you.
3,000 years ago, the famous Israelite King David wrote
Taste and see how kind the Lord is, blessed is he who trusts in him!
You can read it in the Bible in Psalm 34.9:
The story behind this is that David, not yet king at the time, ended up on the run with King Abimelech. There at court, he was almost killed as a suspected enemy.
If we look at the story telled in 1.Samuel 21 and the Psalm 34 together, we realize that David did two things in this dicey situation:
– He prayed to God for help.
– He went mad in front of Abimelech.
He was set free. And later, out of gratitude to God, he composed this Psalm, which we still have today.
Recommended reading! And to imitate too.
Why not seek contact with our Creator, with God, now?
I invite you to get to know God! To enter into a living relationship with him.
He is your creator. Unfortunately, we have no connection to him because we have sinned against him. But God is looking for us and wants to save us. He sent his Son to earth for this purpose. We were reminded of this at Christmas. Jesus lived among us and died on the cross for our sins.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
People who have claimed forgiveness of their sins can enjoy a wonderful relationship with God. Jesus promises them this in Matthew 28:20: Behold, I am with you all the days!
This brings us back to the beginning. The world is restless. Your own situation may be very difficult.
But: You don’t have to walk the path alone. Jesus has risen from the dead. He is alive and wants to accompany and guide you. Your whole life. And one day you may be with Him. Forever.
All the best for 2025!
