Happy New Year! Let's face it, 2020 tested our faith, health, and joy but we are looking forward to new beginnings. To start your new year off right we want to share with you a 4-Day Bible Reading Plan called New Year: Living With Purpose.

We partnered with our friends at YouVersion to develop a Bible reading plan to help you grow in your relationship with God and find a vision for 2021. Since we launched this plan on January 1st, over 56,000 subscribers have connected to discover a purpose for the new year. Are you ready to discover yours?

Our hope is to encourage you with biblical truths that will help you pursue 2021 with purpose. Jeremiah 29:11 is a favorite verse of many people, reminding us that God’s intentions toward us are for good.

"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." - Jeremiah 29:11

One often-overlooked truth from this verse is that God does indeed have plans. God is purposeful. He’s not reacting to circumstances and managing the best He can. God is intentional. He has specific plans and acts accordingly to those plans.

This leads to another truth for us to learn from scripture. If God does not approach life randomly, neither should we. Starting a new year offers the opportunity for a reset, and we should take advantage of that opportunity.

As the new year begins, take time to reflect on 2020. Don’t let the lessons from the past year go to waste. Instead, learn from all you have experienced. Then, commit to living a purposeful life in the year ahead. We encourage you to take time to prayerfully decide on a word or phrase for this year that will direct your approach to life for the next 12 months.

Dare to Ask God what your focus should be during this new year. Remember, He has plans for you. Finding your purpose is empowering and life-giving. God has created you for a purpose, so make 2021 a purposeful year!

Awaiting great things,

We tend to think our possessions only belong to us, but as we look deeper into Scripture, we see stewardship stands in contrast with this natural tendency because God is the owner of everything.
