What’s in your Report Card?

Ring in the New Year with a bang! Welcome to 2024.

So, how did you fare in 2023? The answer lies in your own personal report card. It could be chock-full of successes, a mixed bag of wins and losses, or perhaps it’s seen better days. No matter what, remember, there’s always room for improvement. Our God is a beacon of joy and optimism, always cheering us on. He knows the true potential within you. So, was last year a reflection of your true capability? Ponder on what you can do better this year. Could you be more obedient to the Holy Spirit, devote more time to prayer, delve deeper into His word, or participate more in God’s work?

Next up is productivity, an inheritance of God’s children. It’s through this productivity that your true value shines. Once you’re aligned with God, others should see the fruits of that alignment in your diligence and productivity. Was last year a highlight reel or a forgettable period? Regardless, know that God’s plan for this year is even better. He’s the God who consistently outdoes our wildest dreams

In Ephesians 3:20, it’s said, “To Him who by means of His power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of.” That’s the limitless potential at our disposal.

This New Year 2024, you can unlock a wisdom that supercharges your productivity. This is the wisdom from above, described in James 3:17–18 as pure, peaceful, considerate, teachable, and filled with love. Ask for this wisdom, believe in it, and it’s yours. This wisdom propels you upwards and forwards, beyond your wildest imagination.

What does this wisdom do? It permeates your daily activities and elevates your goods and services to be 10 times better than your competitors. It positions you for favor with both God and man.
