It’s Always a Winning Hand // Come Hell or High Water

Did you know that every single New Year, almost every person on Earth believes it’s “going to be their year?” But take a guess at how many people actually get to midnight on December 31 happy with where they are at? Yeah…not many. And the difference between the people who seize their year and the people who squander their year can really be summed up in one word: Nevertheless. Those who seize the year to come are steadfast and persistent—a bad experience, a difficult person, a rough financial patch—they don’t allow it to throw them off course. And that’s good news for all of us! Because that means winning in 2024 is completely in my hands, because winning in 2024 is about a mindset. It’s time for us to settle in and buckle up, trusting that no matter what comes our way, God is going to do something amazing in us and through us this year—come Hell or high water.

Ready for a hard truth? Someone else out there is winning with the same hand you’ve been dealt. Ouch…I know. But it’s true. Someone out there in the world has a similar family with similar history in a similar town with similar setbacks...but they’re winning. And guess  what? You can, too. It doesn’t matter what hand you’re dealt. You can find a way to win.
