Psalm 25 for 2025: Show Me Your Paths
Imagine going to your mailbox on January 1 and finding a large envelope. You open the envelope and discover a 2025 calendar. In the space allocated for each day you find the details of what will happen in your life that day.
Sound impossible? Even though you won’t receive such a calendar from God, you have a promise from Him that can put to rest your fears and doubts about the direction your life will take this year. Psalm 139:16 says, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed” (NLT). That’s why we can pray, with the psalmist that God will show us how to walk in His ways and His paths—because He already knows what we need to do.
If you want to walk in God’s ways, in God’s truth this year, then ask Him to show you the steps you should take—beginning today!
God’s ways are behind the scenes, but He moves all the scenes which He is behind.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
