Mocha Mousse is the 2025 color of the year, selected by Pantone Color Institute. They describe the color as “a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” The color invites a feeling of contentment, harmonious relations and thoughtful indulgence. ” <!–split–>

Did you know that we can find a Mocha Mousse verse in the Bible? Psalms 37:4-5 says, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him and he will help you.” (New Living Translation)  According to St. Augustine, the heart’s true joy comes from a focus on God’s goodness and presence. When a person delights in God, they are not seeking their own selfish desires but seeking to please God. As we find joy in God, our desires align with God’s desires for us. God grants those desires which are in harmony with  God’s best plans for us.

The invitation to commit everything we do to God involves a deliberate choice to depend on God and entrusting all our concerns in God’s care. The context of Psalm 37 addresses concerns about prosperity of the bad people and apparent triumph of the evil. Bible scholars noted that verses 4-5 are declaration of trust. “While the wicked appear to prosper through their own efforts, the righteous are called to trust in God, and they will ultimately find true success and fulfillment in His provision.”

As we face this new year, let us have our daily serving of the Mocha Mousse verses, entrusting all our desires, hopes and fears to our Almighty Living, Loving God!

A Blessed New Year to Everyone!
