“Who is a God like You, who forgives wickedness And passes over the rebellious acts of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He [constantly] delights in mercy and lovingkindness.” Micah 7:18 (AMP)

In 2026, commit to approach the newness of the year with the refreshing that comes from a heart accepting that everything that brought you here, now, was preparation for the marvelous things that lie ahead.

Imagine this, Joseph was in a prison forgotten by the men whose dreams he had interpreted. Forgotten. Dirty. Thrown away. Seemingly useless. Then, only hours later, he was second only to Pharoah, ruling over all of Egypt, destine to save his family and the people of his ancestry. Now that’s an outhouse to penthouse story!

Why not you?

Joseph toiled in slavery and unmerited imprisonment for 15 years for that seminal moment when called to interpret Pharoah’s dreams. Jesus lived amongst the people he came to save for 30 years before launching his 3 year ministry that he came to earth to deliver. God knows. He sees you. He’s waiting. Accept and trust that the immeasurable joy of your life’s purpose awaits your life’s acceptance of God’s plans fo your life.

Take a step each day this year with the knowledge that you are prepped. Prepped for whatever God has planned for you. Commit to approach any challenge as a marvelous opportunity. Recognize that you are the beloved creation of the Creator of all things who desires relationship with you and to see you soar in 2026 in the freedom that his love, grace and mercy provide.

If your heart is prepped, God will prepare you.

I love where the statement at the end of this image says, “the god of unmerited favor.” He is! You’re right. You and I do not deserve God’s unmerited favor. But oh how he loves to lavish us with unreasonable blessings and inexplicable joy.

Let’s go. 2026 is not waiting.
