As we step into the final month of 2024, I can't help but pause and reflect on the journey thus far. This year has been a tapestry of God's faithfulness, with moments of joy, lessons through challenges, and a deepening understanding of this truth: "God's plan is always greater than mine."
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Reflecting on 2024, I see how every step, even the unexpected detours, was part of His divine design for my growth and purpose. There were times I thought I knew what was best, only to be gently redirected by His hand to something far greater.
Isaiah 55:8-9 further reveals this truth: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." There were moments I questioned why certain doors closed or why my prayers seemed unanswered, but in hindsight, God was aligning me with His perfect will, teaching me to trust Him fully.
Through this year, I have learned that surrendering my plans to God isn't a loss; it's an invitation to something more profound. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight." This truth has anchored me, reminding me that God’s timing and purpose are always perfect.
As the Life Hope Inspired family, we wish you all a joyful season filled with gratitude, reflection, and hope. May this be a time to celebrate God's goodness, knowing that His plans for you are immeasurably more than you could ever imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
As we prepare to close 2024, let's step forward with hearts full of trust and anticipation for what God has in store. Let's remember that every high and low of this year was part of a greater purpose, shaping us to walk in alignment with His will.
From our family to yours, have a blessed and joyful December!
