As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness. Our confidence isn’t in what’s ahead, but in Who goes before us. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: When the Calendar Changes but God Remains By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading:“In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Praying for you today, friend, as you navigate the changing of the calendar. May this new year bring anticipation and excitement, not dread and anxiousness, as you trust our unchanging God.Intersecting Faith & Life:How do you feel about change?

Every January, millions of people set fresh goals: eat healthier, exercise more, or get their finances in better shape. These are good and worthy aims. Yet studies consistently show that most resolutions fade within a few weeks.So if this is the year you want to steward money more wisely—get out of debt, save consistently, or live with greater margin—what actually helps habits last beyond January?The answer isn't more motivation. It's a better foundation.Why Good Intentions Aren't EnoughResolutions often fail for predictable reasons. We set goals that are vague or unrealistic. We don't connect them to a meaningful “why.” Or we jump in without a system to support change. When life gets busy or discouraging—as it always does—old habits quickly take over.If you've ever tried to stick to a spending plan, curb impulse purchases, or make steady progress on debt, you know those difficult moments will come. Lasting change doesn't happen by hoping harder. It happens when old patterns are replaced with new, intentional habits.The Power of a PlanOne of the most common reasons financial resolutions fail is simple: we try to change without a plan. But you can't hope your way into better money habits.A spending plan turns good intentions into clear, practical choices. It gives your money direction and helps automate progress so your goals become part of everyday life—not just something you think about when motivation is high.More than that, a plan allows you to steward what God has entrusted to you with purpose and clarity, rather than relying on willpower alone.Accountability Makes Progress StickWe were never meant to pursue growth in isolation. Accountability strengthens resolve and keeps discouragement from becoming defeat.Invite a trusted friend to check in with you regularly. Make it a family goal to reduce spending or save consistently. Celebrate wins together—and when you fall short, don't quit. Reset and keep going.Stewardship is a journey, not a single moment of success.Willpower Isn't Enough—You Need God's StrengthEven with a solid plan, many people still struggle to keep their resolutions. Often, it's because they're trying to do it all in their own strength.Lasting change requires spiritual power, not just discipline. Scripture reminds us of this truth:“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” — Hebrews 12:11New habits often feel uncomfortable at first. A budget can feel restrictive. Cutting back can feel frustrating. Saying no to impulse purchases can feel like a sacrifice. But God promises that discipline rooted in faith produces something beautiful over time—peace, stability, and a life aligned with His wisdom.That's why prayer matters. Ask God to reshape your desires, guide your decisions, and strengthen you when the novelty wears off. If you're married, pray together, inviting the Lord to give you unity as you pursue shared financial goals.Build S.M.A.R.T. Financial GoalsOnce your plans are grounded in prayer, structure matters. One of the most effective ways to build that structure is by setting S.M.A.R.T. financial goals—goals that are:SpecificDon't say, “I want to save more.” Say, “I will save $100 each month.” Clear goals are easier to follow.MeasurableTracking progress keeps you motivated. Seeing balances change and debt shrink builds momentum.AchievableDon't expect to undo years of financial strain in a few weeks. Small wins compound over time—and they prevent discouragement.RealisticDream boldly, but plan honestly. Your goals should reflect your actual income and expenses—not depend on debt to fill the gaps.TimelyEvery goal needs a timeframe. Whether you're saving, paying down debt, or building margin, set milestones and review your plan regularly to adjust and keep moving forward.A Better Measure of SuccessAs you set financial goals for the new year, remember that every number tells a story—about God's provision, your heart's priorities, and the opportunities He gives you to bless others.Success isn't measured by how much you accumulate, but by how clearly your finances point to Jesus as your ultimate treasure.If you'd like help building habits that last, the FaithFi app is designed to help you create a plan, track progress, and stay encouraged along the way.

His wages are now being garnished, and he's worried about losing his home and damaging his credit. His wife ran up the debt without his knowledge. Is there any advice I can give him? Would filing for bankruptcy stop the wage garnishment, or is it too late since the case is already in court?I set up a TreasuryDirect account, but can't figure out how to convert my paper I Bonds to electronic form. The website isn't clear about how to add them. What steps do I need to take to convert them?My wife and I just turned 64, and both work at the same Christian school. We have an eight-year-old, and our employer offers a family health plan that covers all of us. As we approach Medicare age, do we have to leave the family plan?

Happy New Year, friends! This season is often filled with fresh goals and inspiration—but it can also feel heavy and uncertain. As we look back on the past year, it's easy to wonder whether our efforts really mattered. In these darkest days of winter, optimism can feel hard to come by. If you're feeling doubtful about your work as a leader, take heart: your Father in Heaven sees your faithfulness, and your efforts matter to Him. We have been created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Eph 2:10) "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" Micah 6:8 Hebrews 6:10 “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Next Steps: Schedule a coaching call: https://homeschoolcommunitybuilders.com/ Join our Facebook group- Lead Your Homeschool Co-op https://www.facebook.com/groups/72507320516066 Become a Lead Your Homeschool Co-op Insider and get first dibs on valuable resources to help you lead, organize, and connect your community. https://homeschoolcommunitybuilders.com/contact/

The sermon centers on the profound faithfulness of Epaphroditus, Paul, and Timothy as exemplars of sacrificial service, emphasizing that true Christian consecration involves enduring hardship, prioritizing the needs of others, and surrendering one's life completely to Christ. Drawing from Philippians 2, it highlights Epaphroditus's near-death illness not as a sign of failure but as a testament to his unwavering commitment, even when his life was gambled on Christ's cause with no guarantee of return. The preacher underscores that the ministry of the Word is indispensable above all earthly concerns, calling believers to daily devotion and active participation in the church, rejecting complacency and spiritual apathy. Paul's joy in being a drink offering—poured out for the faith of others—illustrates the ultimate goal of Christian life: to glorify Christ alone, not oneself, through a life fully surrendered and lived in alignment with Scripture. The message concludes with a sobering call to accountability, reminding believers that faithfulness is not diminished by age or health, and that every life, regardless of stage, will be judged by its devotion to Christ and others.
As the new year begins, this episode is a word of encouragement for Abrahamic fathers who are carrying more than most people ever see. For the dads who shoulder responsibility quietly. For the husbands who keep showing up. For the men who serve God and their families faithfully—even when no one applauds. It's easy to lose sight of why we're doing all of this. In this special New Year's address, Steven calls fathers back to their divine assignment: to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, to die daily for the good of their families, and to lead with sacrificial strength. This isn't about hype or resolutions—it's about faithfulness, holiness, and stewarding every area of life God has entrusted to you. As we step into 2026, this is your reminder: what you do matters. Your obedience matters. Your quiet sacrifices matter. The Kingdom starts at home. About Abraham's Wallet: Abraham's Wallet exists to inspire and equip Biblical family leaders.

Good riddance to 2025. Alex, Chris and Mark review the first half of the festive season and look forward to 2026. Part One reviews two home games which frustrated more than excited. The Doncaster high comes crashing back to down to earth with an early sending off and a 10 minute panic. Despite a strong second half showing, there was momentum going into Wycombe. Which fell off a cliff, with a lucky late equalizer. Bah fricking humbug. Part Two tries to make sense of the first half of the season and look forward to 2026. A cry for positivity is balanced with a pragmatic view that Cleverley the player is manifesting as Cleverley the Head Coach. But with a league so tight, all hope is not lost. Buckle up for Schumacher Part 2, or resign yourself to boring the opposition into submission? Let's wait and see….Happy New Year, see you in 2026. Or later this week as it's also known.

The sermon centers on the biblical call to consecration and faithfulness, illustrated through the lives of Timothy and Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:17–30, emphasizing that true Christian service requires unwavering loyalty, selfless devotion to Christ's work, and steadfast commitment to God's Word. It highlights the importance of personal dedication, urging believers to grow in grace and knowledge through diligent study, prayer, and practical obedience, while warning against self-serving motives and disunity rooted in personal ambition. Timothy is presented as a model of faithful service—proven through consistent loyalty, humility, and a heart aligned with Christ's purposes, in contrast to those who seek only their own gain. Epaphroditus exemplifies sacrificial commitment, risking his life for the sake of the gospel and the church, demonstrating that true ministry is marked by courage, perseverance, and a willingness to endure hardship. The message calls the church to cultivate such character, to pray faithfully for ministers and ministries, and to pursue unity grounded in Scripture, doctrine, and mutual accountability, rather than compromise or worldly compromise. Ultimately, it affirms that lasting faithfulness is not measured by visibility or recognition, but by faithful endurance in service to Christ and His body.
Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Revelation 19 A great multitude in heaven praises God, declaring that His judgments are true and just because He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth. The smoke from her destruction rises forever, and the twenty-four elders and four living creatures worship God. A voice calls on all of God's servants to praise Him. Then heaven opens, and a white horse appears. Its rider is called Faithful and True, wearing many crowns and a robe dipped in blood. He leads the armies of heaven and strikes down the nations with a sharp sword. He rules with justice and treads the winepress of God's wrath. The beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown alive into the lake of fire. The kings of the earth are defeated by the word of Christ. God's justice and victory are on full display. The praise of heaven reminds us that evil will not win, and God's judgments are right and true. Christ is revealed as the Faithful and True rider, leading heaven's armies with power and righteousness. He does not come in weakness but in glory, bringing justice to the nations. We are His bride, clothed in righteous acts in His honor. The defeat of the beast and false prophet shows that no enemy of God will stand. We are not waiting for victory; we are living in the full assurance of it. Let us worship with joy, follow Christ with loyalty, and live with courage, knowing the King of kings reigns forever. Amazing God, we praise You for revealing Jesus as Faithful and True, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He comes in glory, riding in righteousness, bringing justice to the nations. We thank You that His victory is certain and His name is above all names. Help us to follow Him with pure hearts and bold faith. Teach us to worship with joy, to live in holiness, and to trust in His power. May we never forget that He reigns forever. Strengthen us to stand firm, knowing that the Lamb who was slain now rules in glory. Thought Questions: The church is the bride of Christ, adorned in righteous deeds in His honor. How can this imagery help as you excel in good works? Do you often picture Jesus in power: on a white horse, with flaming eyes, and a sword of wrath in His mouth? How can this be helpful? Satan and all who live in sin will be thrown into the lake of fire. How does this motivate you to flee from ungodliness passionately?
During our church outreach in a nursing home, an elderly resident told me of how his daughter had driven him there years before and simply left him on the sidewalk. In his wheelchair, Ed couldn’t get up to run after her. She’d returned to the car without looking back and driven away. “We’re going to a nice hotel,” she’d said earlier. That day was the last time he saw her. This clear case of abuse, vastly different from the many loving family experiences of eldercare, traumatized Ed. He still has nightmares about that day. Centuries ago, a young man also suffered trauma (Genesis 37:12-36). Joseph’s brothers threw him into a cistern and sold him to traders going to Egypt. But “the Lord was with Joseph” (39:2). In an unfamiliar land, as he courageously did what was right in God’s eyes, both in his master’s house (vv. 7-10) and in prison, Joseph realized that God “showed him his faithful love” (v. 21 nlt). Despite the trauma of his past, Joseph was able to succeed in whatever he did because God helped him (v. 23). Eventually, he became second-in-command to Pharaoh and raised a family of his own (41:41-52). Later, he even reconciled with his brothers (45:12-15). People may hurt us, but God never will. Although He may help us heal in ways different from what He did for Joseph, He promises us His same faithful love. Let’s follow His leading as we trust Him to heal our hearts.

Luke 2:36–38Like Simeon, Anna was among those “awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” She belonged to the faithful remnant of Israel who believed in the prophecies, understood the Messiah's spiritual and salvific role, and awaited His coming with great hope.Because Anna “never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer,” she was deeply attuned to God's voice. Her life of prayer made her sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, especially on that glorious day when Jesus was presented and ritually redeemed in the Temple.Imagine Mary and Joseph's reaction to Simeon's prophetic words and then to Anna's. They might have expected the ritual offering and dedication to be a routine event. Yet, the joy and prophetic words of Simeon and Anna must have filled them with awe and wonder at the profound mystery of their Child's identity and mission.Like Simeon and Anna, we are called to be part of the faithful remnant today. The chaos and immorality that plague our world can easily lead to discouragement or anger. When this turmoil is close to home, within our families or communities, it becomes even more challenging. Anna's example in today's Gospel offers us a powerful model of how to live our lives. While most of us cannot remain in church night and day, fasting and praying, we are all called to carry the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us, making our souls temples of God.Saint Teresa of Ávila speaks highly of the prayer of recollection, a practice that helps us become more aware of God's presence within. This prayer takes place on two levels. First, “active” recollection is an intentional meditation in which we seek God within the temple, or “castle,” of our souls. It's an active turning inward to find God dwelling within us by grace.Over time, as we deepen in this prayer, it becomes “passive” recollection. God begins to take the lead, and we sense His presence more profoundly throughout the day, calling us to be with Him in the temple of our souls. Those who practice these forms of recollection are like Anna who spent day and night in the Temple, attuned to God's voice.Reflect, today, on God's invitation to imitate Anna's life of prayer. By following her example, you, too, will become more attuned to the voice of God and the promptings of the Holy Spirit. You will recognize the many ways the Messiah comes to you and is present all around you. This grace will empower you to overcome the evils and challenges of the world, making you a member of God's faithful remnant, awaiting His consolation and redemption.Most glorious Messiah, You see the chaos in our world, and You come to those who seek You to deliver them and set them free. Help me to become a member of Your faithful remnant, always turning to You in trust and seeking You day and night. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via picrylSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Hebrews 12:1–3 calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus as we run the race set before us. Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, we are reminded that the Christian life is not meant to be walked alone, but with endurance, faith, and perseverance. This passage points us to Christ as our example and our strength—especially in seasons of suffering, hardship, and weariness.In this sermon, we are encouraged to consider the testimony of those who have gone before us and to look fully to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. As we do, we find renewed endurance, lasting hope, and hearts anchored in Him.Key Points:1. Faithful witness strengthens our own faith2. Jesus is the only way to overcome suffering3. A heart for Jesus will not grow weary

Summary After Christmas fades and decorations come down, many of us instinctively begin looking ahead to what's next. In this sermon, Michael Easley reminds us that this longing is not accidental—it is eternal. God has placed eternity in our hearts, wiring us to anticipate His ultimate deliverance. Tracing Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, Dr. Easley explores the biblical theme of divine visitation—God personally stepping into history to accomplish redemption. From Joseph's deathbed confidence in God's future deliverance, to Zechariah's Spirit-filled praise at the birth of John the Baptist, Scripture reveals a consistent hope: God will visit His people to save them. Luke's Gospel declares that God has “visited us and accomplished redemption,” using a word that means more than appearing—it means showing up to act. In the New Testament, divine visitation demands a response. Some reject the Deliverer, while others recognize Him as the fulfillment of God's promises. The sermon concludes by shifting our focus away from obsessing over end-times signs and toward eager expectation of Christ Himself. Our confidence does not rest in circumstances or experiences, but in God's unchanging Word. Faithful living means trusting God's promises, anticipating Christ's return, and persevering with hope—knowing the Deliverer will come again. Takeaways God has placed eternity in our hearts, causing us to long for what lies beyond this world. Divine visitation in Scripture means God personally stepping in to accomplish deliverance. From Joseph to Zechariah, God's people trusted His promises even when fulfillment seemed distant. The New Testament emphasizes our response to God's visitation—rejection or faith-filled recognition. Scripture calls believers to watch for Christ Himself, not obsess over signs of His return. Our assurance and hope rest not in experience, but in the unchanging truth of God's Word.

Joshua 23:14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.” (ESV)1 John 5:3-4 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." Philippians 3:13-14 "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.
