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.

There’s one variable that will be more unpredictable than any other this year. Any guesses on what it is? Or should I say—who it is? You see, the biggest obstacle to “Nevertheless Faith” will be the people in your life—their words, their actions. So how will you respond to the people in your life? Decide it today: “I won’t let who they are determine who I’ll be.”
