HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 CELEBRATIONS!
WELCOME BACK! Happy New Year 2026 celebrations to you and your household! Today, January 1st, 2026, is not just the beginning of another year, it is a divine gift from God. The Bible says: “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). Rejoicing today is a spiritual response, not a casual emotion. God has granted us the grace to cross over, and that alone deserves thanksgiving. As Scripture reminds us, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18–19). The New Year is a God-given opportunity to rejoice, reset, and realign our lives with His purpose. Celebration is not just excitement, it is an act of faith that honours God for what He has done and boldly trusts Him for what lies ahead. When Israel crossed the Red Sea, they celebrated not because the journey was over, but because God had made a way (Exodus 15:1). In the same way, our celebration today declares: “Lord, we trust You with 2026.”
You see, as you step into 2026, you do so with gratitude, renewed faith, and intentional commitment to walk in God’s plans. The Bible says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:2). You are not only celebrating a change in the calendar, but the grace that preserved you, the lessons that matured you, and the victories, both visible and hidden, that carried you through. Like Joshua, who paused to set up memorial stones after crossing the Jordan so future generations would remember what God did (Joshua 4:6–7), you too pause in gratitude. Entering 2026 with thanksgiving positions your hearts for direction, because “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). Gratitude keeps you humble, faith keeps you expectant, and obedience keeps you aligned. This year is not accidental; it is purposeful, and God has already gone ahead of you (Deuteronomy 31:8).
True New Year celebration goes beyond fireworks and words, it is a spiritual crossing. “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise” (Psalm 100:4). When you celebrate God with a thankful heart, you open yourself to fresh direction, renewed strength, and divine favour. Hannah celebrated God in faith before she held Samuel in her arms, and God turned her praise into a prophetic future (1 Samuel 1:27). As you rejoice in the Lord today, He releases clarity for the journey ahead and empowers you to walk boldly into all He has prepared for 2026, for “the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). Celebrate with purpose. Step into 2026 with faith. God is truly doing a new thing. Thank you, Uplifted Moments family, for walking this journey of faith together. We appreciate you deeply, and we pray that this year will be filled with divine guidance, open doors, spiritual growth, and overflowing testimonies. May the Lord bless you, keep you, and establish His plans in your life throughout 2026, in Jesus’ name. Amen
