It's a time to reflect on the past year and to set new goals for the year ahead. While we may have our own plans for personal growth and success, it is important to seek God's will and guidance in all that we do, trusting that His plans are always better than our own. His plan promises eternal prosperity and earthly peace. Let us thank God for our wilderness experience in 2023 which served to humble us and help us rely on God. It also reveals the status of our faith and heart condition.
