Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. — James 1:17 NIV |
Hi, friends. It's a brand-new day. The start of something new. The past is behind us. The sun has risen. A new season is ahead. As you look out over the day or the year ahead, what will you do with the time? Will you proactively plan it or will you allow it to happen to you as it may? Will you embrace change and growth, or is this a time to strengthen yourself for all that's ahead? At the end, how will you reflect on the time? Grateful for your steadfastness and adventurous spirit? Happy you rested when necessary and took care of yourself? |

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalm 118:24 |

Spend some time today creating a bucket list for the next one hundred days. Consider the memories you'll be glad you made and the goals you'll be glad you reached, as you look back over this time. We never know what lies ahead, but we can know a few things for sure: (1) God's love and provision never change. They are sure and steady. (2) Each moment we have is a gift. Together, over the next one hundred days, let's use our time wisely and practice gratitude for God's mercies and delights. What big or small memories do you hope to make this year? Do you have a goal to read one book every month? Or to strengthen your body? Or to go on a camping trip with your family? Today, write your bucket list for the next one hundred days and even the next year and put those plans on your calendar. |

What are you going to do with your first 100 days of this new year? What is the Lord saying to you? What are your dreams and goals? What's on your bucket list? Today and every day — they're gifts from God! |

Build a Daily Quiet Time Routine with |
FaithGateway Habit Stackers |
How would your life change if you spent your first or last few minutes of the day in quiet time with the Lord? Quiet Time is simply this: making space for God in the middle of our hectic, noise-filled lives. It's a time to bring peace, clarity, and a deeper understanding of one's faith. It can also provide an opportunity for self-reflection and spiritual growth. Your quiet time can vary – you can read Scripture, pray, meditate, journal, write a letter to God, or just sit and listen for God's voice – whatever you choose to spend a few moments in silence with the Lord! If you're interested in building a new spiritual habit and quiet time has piqued your interest, then you'll enjoy learning more about quiet time in our FaithGateway Habit Stackers Quiet Time Group! |
