Happy Marathon Race: Embracing the Journey of 2025
As we step into the new year of 2025, we are met with the excitement and anticipation of a fresh start. The marathon of this year has begun, and the book of 2025 is waiting to be written. The chapters of this book will be authored by different individuals, each contributing their unique experiences, challenges, and triumphs. However, to navigate this journey successfully, we need the guidance and discernment of the Holy Spirit.
The Bible reminds us to "be vigilant and be sober, for our adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, seeks whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). This warning is particularly relevant as we embark on this new year. The devil is always on the prowl, seeking to disrupt our lives and hinder our progress. But with the Holy Spirit as our guide, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness.
As we run this marathon, let us remember to pace ourselves with the Holy Spirit. May our lives be characterized by the fruits of the Spirit, including love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May every challenge we encounter become a building block in our relationship with God, society, and into manifold blessings.
The year 2025 has begun on a promising note, with the Holy Spirit ushering us into a new era of possibilities. As we wait and believe Him for a perfect equilibrium in 2025, we can expect great things to happen. The Holy Spirit shall brood over our fears, worries, anxieties, and struggles, turning them into a rose of glory. His stripes shall be our immunity, His pains our gains, His fight our flight, His blood our redemption.
As we journey through this year, we can expect testimonies to abound. The trees shall dance to the rhythm of our victory, the birds shall sing sweet melodies of our triumph, and the winds shall make the sound of cymbals, celebrating our success. But we must not forget that our ultimate goal is not just
