Proverbs 16:9 “We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.”
There are three ways in which you need to pursue your goals for the new year.
1. You need God’s Spirit to empower you. “You will not succeed by your own strength, or by your own power, but by my Spirit” (Zechariah 4:6).
2. You need God’s Word to guide you. “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success” (Joshua 1:8).
3. You need God’s people to support you. “By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped” (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
Recovery Step: God will equip you to meet every goal that matters in 2024. But you have to do it his way.
