BIBLE VERSE
“God sent me to announce the year of his grace— a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies— and
to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses
instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit.
Rename them “Oaks of Righteousness” planted by God to display his glory.
Isaiah 61:3-4 MSG
REFLECTION
2025 is a year of God’s grace upon your life.
Where you see ruin, God sees restoration.
He can bring beauty from the ashes of your past and rebuild what was broken.
No situation is beyond God’s redemption. He brings beauty out of brokenness.
PRAYER
Father, I give You my ashes—my past mistakes, my disappointments, and my pain.
Create something beautiful in my life—oaks of righteousness for Your glory.
Amen.
QUOTE
