The world death rate statistics for 2025 shows that approximately 173,000 people have died each day which is 7,201 per hour, 120 per minute and 2 per second. If you are reading this blog, you are not part of those statistics. Does this excite you? Are you even thankful? The joy of entering yet another brand-new year is indeed a moment of joy that makes your heart glad and gives you a sense of contentment.
Life is a grind for people who believe they are "Going along with time" and just surviving. The reason being our joy and excitement are mostly tied with external factors and situations which are temporary. There’s something terrifying about turning the page when you don’t know what’s written in the next. Your life story is familiar to the point you start thinking it’s the only one you’re allowed to live. The comfort of repetition, even when it hurts, feels safer than the uncertainty of starting over. Beginnings aren’t just about hope; they’re also about endings—letting go of a life you have already learned to survive. Sometimes, it’s not the fall we’re scared of. It’s the climb. The process. The unraveling.
The unknown space is an unfamiliar territory for us, but not for a God who designed the universe and created us with a purpose. He holds your tomorrow and will sustain you. Your future contains more joy than your past. Don’t look at your past to determine your future. You can’t walk forward into your future looking backward. True misery can be found by being a yesterday person trying to get along in a tomorrow world. Though these sound motivational, if our hope is tied to a living God, then life can be completely different.
"He will be the stability of your times". It is a powerful phrase from the Bible, specifically (Isaiah 33:6 Bible), meaning that in unstable, uncertain, or chaotic times, God (referred to as "He") provides steadfast security, salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, becoming the ultimate anchor for people's lives. It emphasizes finding firm ground not in worldly things, but in the divine presence and truth, offering hope and strong foundation amidst shifting circumstances.
Now even the Bible verse can sound like a word of encouragement but let me assure you it is more than that. You can trust in all the promises Christ has made. He promised life, an abundant life. He promised to never leave nor forsake to those who put their trust on Him, He promised to carry our burden, and most importantly He also promised eternal life. This means an eternal life with Christ forever and ever. Never forget to realise this greatest fact of human history, that Christ conquered death and He rose from the grave. If the greatest problem - death can be decoded by Jesus, then we definitely have hope even after death, in Him.
The Bible emphatically states, “The one who has the son (Jesus) has life. The one who does not have the son does not have life.” It doesn’t mean all who do not believe Christ are not going to exist in this earth. It means we cannot enjoy the abundant life He has promised. Life is the total sum of life here on earth and in eternity. You can learn to know more about Him and find the true purpose for your existence. May you live with this consciousness and live with all sobrieties to be a person God designed you to be in the year 2026.
