Key Scripture: Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it…

Devotional

Preparing for what’s ahead is less about having a perfect plan and more about having a listening heart. God guides those who are willing to follow, even when the next step is small.

As the year closes, it’s tempting to rush into goals and resolutions. But God often starts with alignment—making sure your heart is soft, your motives are pure, and your spirit is attentive.

Preparation includes prayer, reflection, and readiness to obey. God’s direction is often clearer when we slow down enough to hear it.

Today, ask God: “What are You preparing me for?” Then listen with humility and expectation.
