-every 365 days, God gave us a new year

   -new year, new hope

-it's not that we will face famine, but God promises more than enough.. 

   -life is never easy

-there are times in life that God brings us to situations.. door closed, challenges, setback

   -God is setting up something for us.. for something greater

   -Jesus was sent to the dessert to prepare Him for this mission

3 things must do

1. Don't look back.. failure or success

-dwell - focus accessively on pain of the past.. then stuck in guilt and failures... Unable to move on

-requires a forward focus

-God wants us to learn from the past but not stuck in it

-forgiveness is not easy

-is not feeling.. but a decision

   -decision to let go

   -people may not know, but God knows

-old things have past, and behold it's a new beginning

2. look up to God

-the Holy Spirit is the streams in the wasteland

-

-dont worry, the Holy Spirit will protect against the wild animals, jackets, owls

3. Look out to 2025

-our works have power
