🌅 New Year Devotional – Drawing Nearer Than Ever Before

January 1, 2026

Scripture:“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”— James 4:8 (KJV)

As we step into a brand-new year, our hearts are filled with opportunity—not for resolutions that fade, but for a deeper, truer commitment: drawing nearer to the Lord Jesus than we ever have before.

2026 is not promised.Tomorrow is not guaranteed.Even today is a gift.

Because of that truth, we choose to live fully for Jesus—with surrendered hearts, honest faith, and a trust that rests completely in Him. We don’t want to just know about God this year; we want to walk closely with Him, listen for His voice, and trust Him with our whole hearts.

This year, we are inviting you into something special:✨ A daily devotional journey✨ A daily Bible reading plan✨ A growing community of believers sharing what God is teaching them

As we read God’s Word together throughout 2026, you are encouraged to share your thoughts, reflections, questions, and revelations. Let’s learn from one another. Let’s pray for one another. Let’s grow together as the body of Christ.

The Bible is not just a book to finish—it is a living Word that transforms us when we open our hearts to it. Day by day, chapter by chapter, God will meet us right where we are.

Let this be the year we:

• Trust Jesus more deeply

• Pray more honestly

• Obey more faithfully

• Love more boldly

Because none of us is promised tomorrow, we choose today to live for Him.
