Every one of us has faced a moment when something in our life ended — a season closed, a relationship changed, a failure happened, or perhaps God began stirring us toward something new. But here is the truth many people miss: God is the God of new beginnings.

As we close the holiday season - which I love to call the season of light, beginning with the Advent Traditions, then Hanukkah, and then the celebration of Christ's birth - we then enter a new season, a new year.And in every "entering" there is also a "leaving".

God is the all-time great writer of stories. It's why His Word is full of them. And not only that, but as we give Him our lives, He is writing His beautiful story on the pages of our days - stories being read by the world around us of His faithfulness.

There’s an old and true saying that we become what we look at. We know this to be true because when we look at the negative around us, we get depressed. But when we look at the good things, we get encouraged. While positive thinking is a good habit, there is something greater – looking at God and being filled with His perspectives. They not only create peace, but carry authority to shift sorrow into joy and right alignment for His Kingdom advancement in us, our circumstances, families, and regions.

Today, I want to share three essential keys that can empower us to thrive even when life throws its challenges our way. We were meant for a life of triumph—not a smooth journey, but one of moving from strength to strength in overcoming obstacles that can threaten our path.

Are you thirsty for more? More clarity? More Direction? More Presence of God? Good relationships? Did you know that God has given us an incredible ability and key to help us grow our life in every area? Today I’m going to share about that incredible God-given key.
