As 2025 draws to a close, there is value in taking a moment to check the mirror. Not in looking back to a place or time that we still wish to be, or even longing for a place in the past, but to study and learn from what lies behind us.
We draw vital importance from the Word of God, which is alive, and gives us instruction to help us live and walk according to the Will of God. Within the pages, lies stories, accounts, and moments in the lives of people that we can use to learn from.
There are also moments within our own lives, that stand as a place we can look back to, and learn from. Within the fabric of our lives, there is woven good times and bad times, moments of failure, defeat, sadness, and despair. There are also moments of victory, joy, and success.
Are there moments when we could have done more, but settled for less?
Are there moments when we were promised victory, but settled for defeat?
Did God call us out of our comfort zone at times, for us to only crawl back in?
I’ll be the first to admit that there were moments in 2025 that I could’ve and should’ve done more. There were moments that I settled, when I should’ve pushed beyond.
As we start the new year, let us take a glance in the mirror. Not to beat ourselves up for something we did or didn’t do, but to learn and to improve.
God bless you all. I’m looking forward to a great year in 2026, for the Glory of God.
