As we conclude 2025 and cross into 2026, we are not merely
starting a new year; we are entering the second quarter of this new millennium.
The road of life has grown busier, requiring a more sophisticated way of
navigating than the generations before us.
In olden times, bicycles were luxurious vehicles requiring
annual local licenses. We pedaled forward with a singular focus on the front,
aided only by a dynamo headlight and a red tail lamp. But as roads became
crowded, a right-side mirror became essential. Later, on scooters and
motorcycles, dual mirrors—left and right—became compulsory. Now, in our modern
cars, we rely on three mirrors. We have learned that viewing the back and both
sides is vital before we even move. These perspectives are not just for reversing;
they are essential for forward steering.
The Spiritual Parallel
To drive successfully into this next segment of the
millennium, we must use our mirrors:
- The
Center Mirror: To reflect on the providence that brought us through 2025.
- The
Side Mirrors: To stay aware of our surroundings and monitor the
"blind spots" that require caution.
We do not dwell on the past, but we glance at it to ensure
our forward path is safe and wise.
Words to Ponder
As you take the wheel for the journey into 2026, meditate on
these truths:
"Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze
directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be
steadfast in all your ways." — Proverbs 4:25-26
"I will stand at my watch and station myself on the
ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me." — Habakkuk 2:1
The Application: Just as a driver checks every mirror to
stay stationed in safety, let us use the lessons of the past to sharpen our
vision for the future. Keep your eyes on the windshield of the new year, using
your mirrors to guide your progress.
Let us drive on.
As the next chapter of this millennium unfolds, may the New Year bring clarity, courage, and conviction.
Happy New Year.
