There is power in remembering the Lord’s goodness, especially in the struggle, suffering, and difficulty of life. Today, I’m remembering how Jesus has carried me through the most grievous and horrible year of my life. Yet He has showed up in the most amazing and sometimes quiet ways. 

As I look back, I’m asking two questions: What does remembering what the Lord has done provoke in you and me? And in the midst of what we walk through in this life, what do we think the Lord can provide?

Then, as I look forward, I’m sharing how the Lord has given me the word Joy for this year. Not the kind of head-in-the-sand blind optimism. That’s not joy. But delight in Him and who He is. How there is joy and delight in fixing my eyes, mind, and heart on Jesus, following His leading, resting in His love, holding fast to Him in trial, and trusting His will. I pray this episode blesses you as you remember 2025 and look forward to 2026.
