2025 Goals

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1

There is a race God has planned specifically for you. It is a race full of hope, light, purpose and joy. It’s not a race we have to run but if we choose it, then we get to. This verse reminds us that as we run we are surrounded by the best cheer team we could ask for, a cloud of witnesses. As heaven cheers, we throw off anything and everything that hinders us. What hinders us? Thats a question to reflect on. What has kept you from what God has for you. What triggers your insecurity, what feeds you lies of shame, what makes you feel unproductive? Below are a few relatable things that may be hindering you.

Going to bed late?

Couldn’t find a good devo?

Was it a boy distracting your mind?

Was it friends that didn’t encourage you in Christ?

These are things that can be left behind in 2024.

As we reflect on what held us back its even more important to note what pushed us forward. We need more of that in our life! After we through off what entangles us we get to run with perseverance. What things inspire you to persevere? Below are a few relatable things that may encourage you:

What pushed you towards Christ?

Going to bed on time to wake up earlier to do your devo?

Getting plugged into a local church?

Being involved in a bible study or Social?

Starting your morning with worship?

Finding a friend that pushes you in your walk with Christ?

Each day I walk with Jesus the more I realize how true his promise of immeasurable more truly is. The more that awaits us is on the other side of identifying what holds us back, turning away from it and running with perseverance what pushes us towards the purpose God has for your life.

What are you believing for in 2025? Through anything that is hindering it, any sin that is entangling and run your race!
