Faith Matters in 2025

A painting of Snoqualmie Falls in Washington State by J. Craig Thorpe provides inspiration for Greg's thoughts as we enter 2025…

Your faith serves as a rubber boat
when raging currents take your hope
and send you down a one-way spill
from which there’s no return.

t’s true! Faith matters most of all
when life is like a waterfall
when you can’t tell just where or when
the splashdown will occur.

Life carries you with no holds barred.
And without drag, the drop is hard.
You hang on tight while trusting God
It’s faith that gives you hope.

So, as this new year beckons us
to ride the waves with hope and trust,
we recognize how much faith means
to navigate what’s next.

In addition to each week’s post on this website, Greg Asimakoupoulos offers daily video devotionals on his YouTube channel. Here is a sample video. If you are interested in receiving these devotionals Monday through Friday, you can subscribe on Greg’s channel.
