As we embark on a new year, we seek inspiration and guidance in the Word of God to lead our steps. This Bible study aims to explore passages that convey messages of hope, renewal, and confidence in the Lord for the upcoming year. May these scriptures be a light on our path, inspiring us to begin this new chapter with faith and determination.
Isaiah 43:19 - A New Creation
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
In this verse, God promises to do new things in our lives. Just as He made a way in the wilderness, we can trust that He will open opportunities and renew our paths in the coming year.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - New Creature in Christ
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
This verse highlights the promise of renewal in Christ. As we draw near to Him, we are transformed into new creatures, leaving behind the old and embracing the new that God has for us.
Lamentations 3:22-23 - Renewed Every Morning
"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
This passage reminds us of God's unwavering faithfulness. His mercies are renewed every morning, providing us with hope and comfort to face the challenges of the new year.
Philippians 3:13-14 - Pressing Toward the Goal
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
In this verse, we are encouraged to leave the past behind and move toward the goal that God has for us. The new year is an opportunity to focus on divine purpose and pursue the goals He calls us to achieve.
