CHILD-FRIENDLY TOGETHER!

Amos 3:3 GNT

Do two people start traveling together without arranging to meet?

 

We need to choose the right friends. You can’t walk with someone who is going in the opposite direction. If you want to grow in God, it won’t help to stay close to people who don’t want to grow at all.

Two people can’t walk together unless they agree. If God is leading you one way, don’t let others pull you off the path.

Galatians 6:2 says we should help each other, but that only works when we agree.

God wanted Israel to follow Him, but sometimes they didn’t listen. When they refused to walk with Him, they couldn’t stay close to Him. God still loved them, but they had to choose His way.

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says two people can do more together than alone. But teamwork only works when both people agree.

This year don’t carry old problems with you. Don’t follow friends who hold you back. Walk with people who love God, pray, and want to grow like you do.

God wants to take you higher—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. He has new blessings and new songs for you (Psalm 40:3). New songs come from new victories.

If God has given you a dream (Habakkuk 2:2), find people who will help you make it real.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- What do I think God wants me to do this year 

- Who can help me grow and follow God 

- How can I make friends who love God too 

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for this new year. Help me walk with You and choose friends who love You. Guide me, strengthen me, and let my life bring You glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
