Happy New Year and New Season! We are just weeks into January and already 2026 is feeling so different from 2025, change is in the air.
“The wise heart will know the proper Time & Procedure” (Ecc.8:6).
When the start of a New Year happens, I like to lean in and see what God is saying. Hear a word from Him, have something to focus on, be intentional about what He wants to do in my life/heart this next year. If you’ve never done this before, it’s a great practice. It sets a good pace for the year and it helps you to know how to proceed.
You can sit with God any time of day, but morning is usually best for me. The house is quiet, coffee is on, candle lit, journal out…the rest is up to Him.
“In the morning, the word of the Lord came to me..” (Ezekiel 12:8).
This year however, more than a “word,” I felt a “way.” A rhythm to sync up to and stay aligned with.
In Psalm 37 it says, “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust Him and He will do this.” (Ps.37:3-5)
I have some things in my heart this year that I’m wanting to see established, dreams to come to fruition, that sort of thing. This verse feels like the key and my obedience the unlocking. Trust-dwell-enjoy-delight myself-commit my way- that’s my pace & piece this season.
When we know what He has spoken to us, we know how to better align ourselves to his words and His ways in each season. I hope you’ll lean in..
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity..” (Ecc.3:1)
Cheers in the New, DeAnn
