Fresh Starts and Firm Foundations

A new year always brings fresh energy — new goals, new plans, new hopes. But before we start building, it’s worth checking what foundation we’re building on.

A shaky start built on emotion or ambition will crumble when the storms come. But a foundation built on the Word of God will hold steady in every season.

As you set your goals for the year, consider these questions:

  • Does this plan draw me closer to Christ or just make me busier?

  • Am I chasing outcomes or pursuing obedience?

  • What spiritual habit could strengthen my foundation this year?

The best new beginnings are built on old truths.

Reflection questions:

  • What foundation are you building on this year?

  • Which spiritual practice will help you stay grounded?

  • How can you align your plans with God’s purpose?
