Welcome to the Turning Point Devotional for Today, January 5th, 2025. This devotional is part of the broadcast ministry of Pastor David Jeremiah.
O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. – Psalm 25:2.
Recommended Reading: Philippians 4:6-7
January is the month of new beginnings. Instead of (or in addition to) making resolutions for the new year, consider the challenges, obstacles, or opportunities you foresee that could arise in the next twelve months. It might be a financial challenge, a job relocation, a family situation, addressing a health issue, or some other “opportunity.”
January is a good time to make this resolution: I am going to begin today to lay these challenges before the Lord and resolve to trust Him to help me meet them. We could adjust David’s words in Psalm 25 to read, “Let not my challenges triumph over me.” Our challenges may not be enemy soldiers coming at us with swords and spears, but they can seem life-threatening, nonetheless.
We can also echo David’s words, “Let me not be ashamed.” What would cause us to be ashamed? Being overcome and consumed by our “enemies.”
Think about the months ahead—what do you see on the horizon? Bring those matters before the Lord and resolve to trust in Him.
Putting our faith in Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves and resting in him. – Tim Keller.
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Genesis 13-17.
