LIVE IN FRESH GRACE AND DIRECTION THIS 2026
WELCOME BACK! As we step boldly into 2026, God is calling you into a season of fresh grace and clear direction, reminding you that your life is sustained not by yesterday’s strength but by today’s mercy. He said, in (Lamentations 3:22–23), “ that it’s of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” This truth assures us that every new day carries fresh help from heaven, new strength for weary hearts, new forgiveness for past failures, and new courage to face present challenges. God never intended us to live on stale grace or outdated victories; instead, He invites us into daily dependence on Him. Alongside His mercy, He promises direction, saying in (Psalm 32:8), “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” This means God is not distant or silent; He is actively involved, supplying grace to sustain us and guidance to lead us, so that every step we take is ordered by His wisdom rather than human understanding.
Depending on renewed mercy and divine guidance for the year ahead means choosing trust over fear and obedience over self-reliance. When challenges arise, and they surely will, we lean on God’s daily grace to overcome rather than our limited strength. The Bible says in (Psalm 37:23), “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” A powerful spiritual example is the Israelites in the wilderness: God gave them manna daily, not weekly or yearly (Exodus 16:4), teaching them to depend on Him one day at a time. Whenever they tried to store yesterday’s manna, it spoiled, showing that yesterday’s provision cannot sustain today’s journey. In the same way, God is teaching us in 2026 to trust Him for fresh grace for each decision, each season, and each step, knowing that His guidance is sufficient and His provision never fails.
As a new season unfolds, God does not ask us to rely on past experiences alone; He invites us into a living, present walk with Him. (Isaiah 43:19) says, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” His mercies being “new every morning” mean that no matter what yesterday held, today comes with fresh help, renewed strength, and restored hope (Lamentations 3:23). Even more comforting is His promise of personal guidance, not distant commands, but intimate direction, as He says, “I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:8), like a loving Father watching over His child. When we submit to God’s guidance and depend on His fresh grace, we walk confidently into the future, assured that we are upheld by His faithfulness and directed by His wisdom (Proverbs 3:5–6). Thank you, dear Uplifted Moments family, for walking this journey of faith together. May the Lord clothe you daily with fresh grace, order your steps with divine wisdom, and fill your hearts with peace and confidence in Him. I pray that 2026 will be a year where you clearly hear God, fully trust Him, and joyfully follow His lead, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
