COT:
Psalm 145:14

The Lord upholds all who fall
    and lifts up all who are bowed down.

This verse speaks to me right now. I was a bit in a slump spiritually. I think the Christmas season really wore me out this year. It pissed me off how all the “Christmas” things pulled me away from the whole point of the season.
This verse encourages me because Jesus loves to find us in these low seasons so he can pick us back up and walk with us.

COT:
What did you accomplish in 2024? What were the challenges and triumphs? Thank God for the Grace and Mercy he showed us in 2024, and we look forward to what he has in store for us in 2025. Will you be an active participant, or will you just be floating through? I don’t think it is cliché to set goals for the new year. It is a natural reset. What does this new year look like? What do you think God has in store for you? What areas of leadership will you step into?

Numbers 6: 24-26
“‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

COT
“The power of No”

I’ve recently struggled with integrity issues involving commitments. I find it easy to over commit and under deliver. It’s easy to say yes to everything but not to think about the cost of saying yes. I shared examples of how liberating it was when I recently said no to two “good” things (hanging Christmas lights & Son’s sport team).

“Wielded wisely, no is an instrument of integrity and a shield against exploitation. It often takes courage to say. It is hard to receive. But setting limits sets us free”

COT:
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life.

99.9% of the time I do not follow the wisdom in this passage. I need this reminder daily.
