You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.
As this new year begins, take a moment and reflect on the last year. This is the perfect verse to enter a new year. It is both a promise and a prayer. It is a promise you can only fully experience by deliberately reflecting on His goodness. God treats each new year like a reward with a crown of His goodness. Metaphorically speaking, this concept is divine. It depicts a picture of the year ending beautifully, crowned by who else but God, our Lord and Savior. No one can give a crown filled with so much goodness as our King of Kings. In one sense, we can always say that God crowns the year with His goodness. It is simply what He does every single year. He is good, and we have experienced His goodness throughout the years leading up to this year. Therefore, we should be incredibly grateful as we come into the new year. Whether the previous year was a good year for you or a bad one, it’s important to always meditate on the goodness of God. Even if we experienced more challenges this last year than any other year, if you sit down and meditate on God’s goodness, you will know that God was with you every step of the way. So despite the challenges you face in any particular year, you can testify at the end of each year, ‘You crown the year with Your goodness’.
Happy New Year!
