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.

“This is going to be my year!” I know, you’ve said that before…but things went south and the year fell flat...or did it? Maybe the year didn’t fall flat—your persistence fell flat. But it’s a new year and it’s a new day. Don’t let the lows of 2024 dictate what kind of year it’s going to be. It’s time to develop “Nevertheless Faith”—a faith that stays strong, come Hell or high water.
