January 5: Stepping into 2026

Theme: Walk Boldly into 2026

Scripture
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9

Sharon Campbell-Danvers 

There is so much that is revealed in a person’s walk. The way we walk can reflect confidence or hesitation, purpose or uncertainty, faith or fear. Long before a word is spoken, our walk often tells a story about what is happening within us.

Our walk can also reveal our mindset. Some walk cautiously, burdened by past disappointments. Others walk boldly, trusting God for what lies ahead. There is a sister I truly admire for this very reason, Sis S. Rose. She walks with a sense of purpose and direction. Her steps reflect intention, confidence, and quiet faith. You can tell that she knows where she is going and why.

How we step into 2026 can influence the outcome of the year ahead. Joshua was commanded by God not just to move forward, but to do so with strength and courage. God’s instruction was clear—do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, because His presence goes with us.

Our walk can reveal faith, uncertainty, success, or fear. But when our walk is rooted in God’s promises, it becomes steady and assured. Walking boldly does not mean we have no fears; it means we trust God enough to move forward despite them.

As we step into 2026, may our walk reflect confidence in God’s presence, courage in His promises, and faith in His guidance. Let our steps declare that we believe God is with us wherever we go.

Prayer
Lord, as I walk into this new year, help my steps reflect faith and courage. Remove fear and uncertainty from my heart. Teach me to walk with purpose, confidence, and trust in You, knowing that You go before me and walk beside me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...

January 11: Help! I Am A Worrier.

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

June 15: The Coat of Many Blessings

The Coat of Many Blessing's Theme: God’s Favor on my “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.” Genesis 37:3 (KJV) Jolen Whyte King’s Seventh-Day Adventist  There’s a garment woven not by human hands but by the sovereign grace of God. A vibrant coat that marks you as His chosen, beloved child. When doubt whispers that you don’t belong, remember: this coat is not earned by perfection or pedigree. It’s His gift, threaded with mercy and purpose, meant to cover every wound and illuminate every step. As you turn each page of your life, you will discover those threads of grace transforming even the darkest chapters into a tapestry of hope. I know what it’s like to have nothing to my name, dropping out of high school at fifteen, facing teenage motherhood, and hearing every voice around me say my story was over before it began. Yet in the midst of that wilderness, God quietly began to stitch His favor ...
