WITH GOD, THE END WILL BE A BLESSING

 Psalm 66:12 NKJV says, “You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.”


This psalmist provides us with a profound picture of God’s people's journey. It shows pressure, suffering, danger, and pain. Men rode over their heads, meaning they were oppressed, defeated, and treated badly. They passed through fire and water, which represent extreme trials, testing seasons, and moments where survival itself seemed uncertain. Yet the verse does not end in pain. It ends in victory. God brought them out to rich fulfillment. The same God who allowed the process also guaranteed the outcome.

As we approach the end of the year, many things come to our minds. This year carried both joy and sorrow. Some days were full of laughter, and some days were full of tears. Some people enjoyed progress, while others endured heavy trials. Many passed through fire and floods, sickness, loss, rejection, delay, and disappointment. Yet one truth remains. God was faithful. He preserved your life, kept your mind, and brought you to the end of the year. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we also celebrate God’s protection and His mighty power that kept us to this very day.

Psalm 66 is a psalm of praise. It remembers the awesome works of God and His faithfulness to Israel. The psalmist looks back and testifies of what God did for the nation. This psalm also reflects our lives today. It shows the goodness of God and His power to deliver His people when they are in trouble. God has not changed. What He did then, He still does now.

When the psalmist said, “You have caused men to ride over our heads,” he understood that God was still in control. God is always with those who pray and depend on Him. Yet He sometimes allows His people to pass through hard seasons. These trials are not a sign of abandonment, but a process allowed by God for a greater purpose.

The good news is this. God will never let His people perish. Though you go through fire and water, you will not be destroyed. His power brings His people to rich fulfillment. But the good news is that God will never allow His people to perish. Other translations say, “You brought us to a place of abundance” (Psalm 66:12 NIV). The Good News Translation says, “But now you have brought us to a place of safety.” Other translations use words such as “plenty,” “safety,” and “refreshment.”

This end of the year is not your end. God has His own calendar for you. Your enemies do not decide your final chapter. Scripture declares that your end is a place of abundance. With God, the end will be a blessing.

Prayer: Father, thank You for bringing me through trials into abundance, safety, and divine fulfillment.

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...
