New Year Checkup, Part 1: Am I Generous to Others?
As we step into a new year, it’s a good time for self-reflection. Let’s start with a quick check-up: Are you living generously, showing mercy, and caring for others out of your love for the Lord? Or are your actions driven by self-interest and a focus on personal gain? True generosity flows from a heart aligned with God’s wisdom and purposes. Proverbs 11:16-18 reminds us that kindness and righteousness bring lasting rewards, while selfishness leads to emptiness. To explore this further and challenge your perspective, watch today’s video devotion based on this powerful passage.
New Year Checkup, Part 2: What Am I Pursuing?
As the new year unfolds, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a step back and evaluate your goals and priorities. What are you truly pursuing in life? Are you striving for righteousness and the things that lead to life, or are you chasing after fleeting desires that could lead you astray?
Proverbs 11:19-21 challenges us to reflect on the outcomes of our choices. Those who pursue righteousness find life and honor, but those who chase sin and selfishness face destruction. Take a moment to ask yourself the tough questions: Are my goals aligned with God’s will? Am I pursuing what truly matters in the light of eternity? For deeper insights and encouragement, watch today’s video devotion based on this powerful passage. Let’s start the year on the right path together.

New Year Checkup, Part 3: What Do You Desire?
As you step into the New Year, take a moment to reflect on your heart’s true desires. Ask yourself, “What do I long for most?” Are your desires rooted in goodness, reflecting a heart that seeks God’s will, or are they shaped by selfish ambitions and temporary pleasures?
Proverbs 11:23 reminds us that the desires of the righteous lead to good things, while the hopes of the wicked end in disappointment and wrath. Our desires reveal the direction of our lives—what we yearn for often determines the path we take. Start this year by aligning your heart with what pleases God. Let your desires reflect His goodness and His plans for your life. To dive deeper into this important question, watch today’s video devotion based on this thought-provoking passage. Let’s begin the year with a heart focused on what truly matters.
