GOD’S MERCIES PROTECTED YOU TO THIS DAY

 Lamentations 3:22 NKJV says, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.”


Our survival is not by strength, wisdom, or luck. It is by the mercy of God. To be “not consumed” means we were close to danger, judgment, and destruction, yet God stepped in. His compassions did not end. They did not reduce with time. They did not fail because of our weaknesses. God’s mercy stood between us and what could have destroyed us.

As you reach the end of the year, it is time to reflect deeply on everything that happened from the beginning of this year until now. Some days were joyful, others were painful. Some seasons were clear, others confusing. Yet through all of it, you are still standing. That alone is proof that God’s mercies were upon you.

When we talk about mercy, we mean forgiveness and kindness shown to someone who deserved punishment. There were moments this year when mistakes were made. Wrong decisions were taken. Some words were spoken that should not have been spoken. Some actions opened doors that should have remained closed. If God had judged us strictly, we would not be here today. But He chose mercy.

God’s mercies kept you. If not for His mercy, the enemy would have consumed you and destroyed your life, your peace, and your future. There were battles you did not see. There were traps set for you that you never noticed. Yet God, out of His great compassion, rescued you again and again.

As you reflect honestly, you will realize that some mistakes you made this year could have ruined you. Some choices could have ended your journey. But God did not allow that to happen. He corrected you with love, not destruction. He covered you when you were exposed. He lifted you when you were weak.

Not only Satan, but even people can be enemies. Some wanted to see you fall and fail. Some spoke against you. Some waited for your downfall. But God did not hand you over to them. He stayed with you, guided you, and protected you.
Even if you did not get everything you wanted this year, be grateful. The gift of life is still the greatest. To see another day is pure grace. God’s mercies come in many forms. It is time to thank Him and be grateful for all He has done.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your mercy that preserved my life and future throughout this year.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

WISDOM TO MAKE RIGHT DECISIONS

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...
