Hello,
Welcome to the second half of the year. It is truly a privilege to be alive and to witness another month in this year. For some, the year so far has brought challenges. For others, it has opened doors of opportunity and blessings. In all things, I give thanks to God for bringing you this far.
As you begin a new month—and step into the second half of the year, I want to encourage you with a reminder: God’s work in your life is not done. His purpose for you is continuous. He is not limited by time or seasons, and He is more than willing to walk with you through every stage and every level of your journey.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on the words God gave Joshua after the death of Moses. He assured him that the journey wasn’t over and that He would be with him always. Here is what God said:
“8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:8-9 (AMP)
Maybe you’ve faced disappointment. Maybe you feel stuck, uncertain, or weary. I want you to know without a doubt: God’s promises still stand. What He said, He will do. What He began in you, He will complete.
As you move forward in this new month, here are five powerful truths to hold on to:
1. Let God’s Word guide every decision.
Don’t build your life on opinions or empty promises. Let the Word of God be your anchor and foundation.
2. Face this new season with courage.
I know you do not have all the answers—but you are backed by divine power. You carry God’s presence, and that makes all the difference.
3. Your steps are ordered by the Lord
Make this your daily confession: “My steps are divinely ordered; I will not slip, I will not fall, and I will not fail.”
4. Let your fears become stepping stones.
Don’t let fear stop you. Use it. Let your fear of failure become fuel for excellence, growth, and breakthrough.
5. Hold tightly to what God has told you.
Write it God’s promises and instructions down. Meditate on it. Speak it over yourself daily. Let it live in your heart.
Always remember: You are not alone. God is with you—every single step of the way—and He will never fail you.
Keep pressing forward. Your story is still unfolding.
Happy New Month!
Yours in Christ,
