Keep the Fire Burning: January 9, 2025

Hey, FAITH Fam!

It’s January 9, 2025, and I want you to pause for a moment and think about this: you’re already nine days into this new year, showing up, pressing forward, and staying committed to the journey. That’s worth celebrating! Whether the week has been smooth or full of challenges, today is another chance to stay connected to your faith and your purpose.

The Power of Persistence

There’s something powerful about persistence. Even when things don’t look like they’re changing, staying faithful to the process creates momentum. You may not see the results yet, but trust me, God is working behind the scenes.

Hebrews 10:36 says: “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”

Don’t let frustration or doubt make you stop short. Keep trusting, keep pushing, and keep believing that His promises are worth the wait.

Today’s Focus: Reignite Your Passion

It’s easy to lose energy when you’re focused on the same goals day after day. If you’ve been feeling a little burnt out, take some time today to reignite your passion. What motivates you? What keeps you going when things get tough?

Here are a few ways to recharge your spirit:

• Spend time in prayer or worship, asking God to renew your strength.

• Write down why your goals and dreams matter to you.

• Encourage someone else—sometimes, lifting others helps refuel your own fire.
