7 LESSONS GOD TAUGHT US IN 2025 ✨📖
1/7 My life is not about me
My choices are meant to honor God and His calling on my life. My decisions show how much my life is about me and not about Him.
🙏 Jesus, make my dreams, plans, relationships, and work MORE about You than about me. Make my joy, peace, and freedom MORE about You!
2/7 Valleys, not mountaintops
It’s not victories but not giving up in following God’s voice despite failure, pain, and loss that builds my character. Hardship brings out the TRUTH that is in my heart. It’s the valleys that build the heart of a worshiper – not the mountaintops. ⛰️
3/7 Humility = the Word above experience
What You say in Your Word is more important than what I think or what my experience tells me.
✓ Repentance and obedience to God’s Word show humility before God and that we rely on Him.
4/7 Loss for Jesus = a hundredfold
Whatever you leave behind for Jesus in order to live according to His will, He rewards and provides a hundredfold already here on earth. ✨
“Everyone who has left … for my name’s sake … will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.” Mt 19:29
5/7 Prayer is a lifestyle, not just a part of life
You cannot discover, enter into, or bear fruit in God’s calling without daily time for:
✓ prayer ✓ God’s Word ✓ obedience to God
PRAYER = time with God 🕊️. It is not meant to be just one element of everyday life, but a lifestyle.
6/7 The enemy’s weapon = fuel for worship
In spiritual warfare I will use every weapon the enemy throws at me to use it to PRAISE MY GOD. ⚔️
Just as David used Goliath’s sword as an instrument of victory, I will use the enemy’s weapons as FUEL FOR WORSHIP of Jesus.
7/7 Joy independent of circumstances
“Rejoice always.” 1 Tes 5:16
God’s will is our joy – it does NOT depend on changing external circumstances but on what is UNCHANGING.
✓ “All my springs are in You.” Psalm 87:7
The source of my peace, emotional security, provision of godly friends, mentors, and everything I need is found only in Jesus. 🙌
