New Beginnings Bingo: A Challenge Inspired by November’s Reflections
As November ends, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the lessons, blessings, and Scriptures that have guided us through the month. This season of transition has been rich with opportunities to embrace new beginnings and align our hearts with God’s plans. As we step into December, let’s carry that spirit forward with a meaningful challenge: the New Beginnings Bingo.
This Scripture-inspired activity takes the reflections and practices from November and turns them into an interactive and intentional way to stay rooted in God’s Word as we prepare for the new year.
Whether you approach this challenge individually or invite friends to join you, it’s a wonderful way to end the year on a spiritually focused note.
The Heart Behind New Beginnings Bingo
November’s Scriptures reminded us of God’s promises for newness and His perfect timing:
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?” (Isaiah 43:19)
“To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
These verses call us to embrace the changes God is orchestrating in our lives and trust Him fully as we step into what’s ahead. The New Beginnings Bingo builds on these themes, offering practical ways to reflect, pray, and act as we prepare our hearts for December and beyond.
How to Use the Bingo Challenge in December
Each square on the bingo board represents an intentional step you can take to grow spiritually, reflect on God’s work in your life, and prepare for the new year. Some activities include:
Journal About a Recent Blessing: Write about how God has blessed you and thank Him for His provision.
Pray for Guidance in Planning the Next Year: Seek His wisdom for what’s to come, surrendering your plans to His will.
Start a Gratitude List for the Month: Focus on thankfulness daily or weekly, listing even the smallest joys.
Dedicate Time to Pray Over Your Dreams: Bring your hopes and aspirations to God, trusting Him to lead you.
Encourage a Friend with a Bible Verse: Be a vessel of God’s love by sharing His Word with someone who needs it.
These simple but profound actions are designed to help you reflect on the past while stepping boldly into the future.
