As we enter into the Brand New Year of 2025, believer in the Lord Jesus Christ; be assured of these timeless promises and confidently expect them to be manifested in your life.

1. GOD Himself will be GOING ahead of you into the NEW YEAR.

     "The LORD is the one who GOES ahead of you" (Deuteronomy 31:8a; NASB).

2. GOD will be GOOD to you and do GOOD to you.

    "You [LORD] are GOOD and do GOOD" (Psalm 119:68; NASB). "God causes all things to work together for GOOD to those who love God" (Romans 8:2; NASB).

3. GOD will GIVE you what is GOOD.

   "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven GIVE what is GOOD to those who ask Him” (Matthew 7:11; NASB)!

4. GOD will GIVE you rest.

   "Come to ME, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will GIVE you rest" (Matthew 11:28; NASB).

5. GOD’S GOOD HAND will be upon you.

   “And the king granted me what I asked, for the GOOD HAND of my God was upon me” (Nehemiah 2:8; cf. Ezra 7:8; 8:18; ESV).

6. GOD’S GOODNESS will pursue you all the days of your life.

   “Surely GOODNESS and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever” (Psalm 23:6; NASB).

7. GOD will GRANT you favor in the sight of others, even in the sight of your enemies.

   “I will GRANT this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed” (Exodus 3:21; cf. 11:3a; 12:36; NASB).

8. GOD will make you GLAD.

   “For You, O LORD, have made me GLAD by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands” (Psalm 92:4; NASB).

9. GOD will hear your GROANING.

   “So God heard their GROANING; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (Exodus 2:24; cf. Exodus 6:5).

10. GOD will be GRACIOUS to you.

“And he said, “May God be GRACIOUS to you, my son” (Genesis 43:29b; NASB). “I will be GRACIOUS to whom I will be GRACIOUS, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion” (Exodus 33:19b; NASB). For indeed, He is the "GOD OF ALL GRACE" (1 Peter 5:10; ESV).

11. GOD’S GRACE will be sufficient for you.

   “And He said to me, ‘My GRACE is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness’” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

12. GOD will enable you to GROW in the GRACE and knowledge of Jesus your Lord. 

   "But GROW in the GRACE and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen" (2 Peter 3:18; NASB).

13. GOD will be GENTLE with you in all His dealings.

  For He says: "I am GENTLE and humble in heart" (Matthew 11:29; NASB).

14. GOD will be GENEROUS to you.

He is a GENEROUS GIVER who gives and gives. "Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am GENEROUS?" (Matthew 20:15; NASB).

15. GOD will be your GUIDE.  

   "This is God, our God forever and ever. He will GUIDE us forever" (Psalm 48:14; ESV). "And the LORD will GUIDE you continually" (Isaiah 58:11a; ESV).

16. GOD will enable your heart to overflow with gratitude. 

   "Having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, overflowing with GRATITUDE(Colossians 2:7; NASB).

17. GOD will make this year your year of GAINING CHRIST. 

   "More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may GAIN CHRIST" (Philippians 3:8; NASB).

18. GOD will GUARD your GOING OUT and your COMING IN.

   “The LORD will GUARD your GOING OUT and your COMING IN from this time forth and forever” (Psalm 121:8; NASB).

19. GOD will be the GUARDIAN of your soul.

   "For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and GUARDIAN of your souls” (1 Peter 2:25; NASB).

20. GOD will be your GO-TO-PERSON.

   In all of your life's circumstances, God waits for you, with open arms, to come to Him with all your cares and concerns. Our Lord is simply saying to you and to me: "I am your GO-TO-PERSON in this life."

  This is perfectly illustrated by the fearful disciples on a stormy night at sea. Jesus was their GO-TO-PERSON on that stormy night at sea.

   “Jesus Himself was in the stern asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing? And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush, be still.” And it became perfectly calm” (Mark 4:38-39; NASB).

God Bless You.
