Hey 2025 …
I’m saddling up, climbing on, and riding into your sunset. Forward into 2026 and whatever God has for me.
Selecting a word for the coming new year is a thing, right? Well, my word for 2026 is “Forward”.
“moving toward a place, a point or a time”
“advancing”
“relating to the future”
After my 2025, “Forward” is definitely appropriate for me. Maybe for you as well.
Forward denotes advancement—moving in a direction away from whatever it is you want to leave behind. Maybe you want to leave behind the pain of loss and its grief, financial woes, bad relationships, or stress from a home renovation that is taking waaaaaaaay too long!
Whatever you’re leaving behind, “forward” is progress, and it’s positive.
Why move forward at all?
Here are a few reasons …
AVOID STAGNATION
What happens when we become stagnate?
-There’s no flowing or
moving
-There’s a lack of growth,
development, or activity
If we’re not moving, we’re perishing.
Running in Circles
We get nowhere!
-Think about the game of placing your head on a bat and spinning in a circle—we’re just going to lose our balance, fall down, maybe get injured.
We’re definitely not going anywhere!
Staying Adrift
-Emptiness
-Isolation
-Loneliness
-Languishing in mediocrity
and melancholy
We DO NOT want to stay here!
We Gotta Move Forward
“…Forgetting the past and looking FORWARD to what lies ahead, I PRESS ON to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” ~Phillippians 3:13,14
Not moving forward
Is not an option!
Ready or not … 2026 here we come!
Press on. Get moving. Get praying. Get worshiping. Get believing.
FORWARD!
Into God’s blessings in 2026
