2026 THEME LAUNCH DEVOTIONAL: DIVINE DIRECTION INTO NEW GLORY

A symbolic, faith-inspired scene of a believer standing at the entrance of a new year, facing a radiant path of light ahead. Behind them is a dim, fading landscape representing the past year, while ahead is a bright, open road illuminated by soft divine light from heaven. The person holds an open Bible close to their chest, with subtle rays of light highlighting the path forward. The atmosphere is peaceful, hopeful, and reverent, conveying divine guidance, obedience, and new beginnings. No text on image. Realistic, cinematic lighting, spiritual yet modern aesthetic.

Theme for 2026: DIVINE DIRECTION INTO NEW GLORY


Anchor Scriptures

Genesis 12:1
“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee.”

Isaiah 30:21
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”

Psalm 37:23
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.”


Opening Thought

Every new year carries expectations, but only those who walk in divine direction step into new glory.

God does not begin years with noise; He begins with instruction.


Reflection

The first day of 2026 is not about resolutions — it is about alignment.

In Scripture, every major shift into new glory began when God gave clear direction and someone chose obedience. Abraham was not promised comfort; he was promised guidance. Yet by following God’s voice, he entered covenant, blessing, and generational glory.

Divine direction is God’s mercy for a new season. Without it, effort becomes frustration. With it, even simple obedience produces extraordinary outcomes.

As we step into 2026, prepare your heart for a month-long journey of divine direction. Throughout January, we will explore stories of patriarchs in the Bible, men and women of God, and believers who succeeded in business, ministry, and career because they followed God’s leading.

Some were directed through dreams.
Some through books and Scripture.
Some through visions and inner convictions.
Others through direct instructions, godly counsel, and spiritual discipline.

One truth remains consistent: new glory always followed divine direction.

This year, God is calling His people to walk deliberately, listen attentively, and obey promptly. The glory ahead is real, but the pathway to it is direction-sensitive.

What you start with determines what you sustain. When you begin a year in God’s presence, you position yourself for God’s leading throughout the year.

2026 is not a year to rush — it is a year to be led.


Prayer

Father, I step into 2026 with humility and expectation. I surrender my plans, ambitions, and assumptions to You. Order my steps, quiet every distracting voice, and align my heart with Your will. Let my ears be sensitive to Your leading and my spirit responsive to Your instructions. I receive grace to walk in divine direction and enter the new glory You have prepared for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.


Declarations

I walk in divine direction in 2026.
My steps are ordered by the Lord.
I will not miss God’s timing or instruction.
I move by obedience, not confusion.
I enter new glory by alignment and faith.


Prophetic Charge

As you follow God’s voice this year, doors will open naturally.
Your obedience will attract acceleration.
Your alignment will produce visible glory.


Closing Exhortation

Begin this year in God’s presence.
Start well. Start strong.
And you will finish great.

Welcome to 2026 — Our Year of Divine Direction into New Glory.
