Psalm 124:7
“Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”

From an early age, Michael W. Smith sensed God’s call on his life. At seventeen, he left college and moved to Nashville to pursue that calling in music ministry. But the road ahead was far from glorious. His early jobs placed him in environments filled with temptation, and before long, he slipped into drug addiction. What he thought he could control quickly took control of him.
For three painful years, his life spiraled downward. In November 1979, after nearly losing his life to drugs, Michael cried out to God. That desperate prayer became a turning point. God intervened with mercy, broke the power of addiction, and gave him a fresh start.
Within a year, Michael began writing songs professionally. Soon after, he secured a record deal. From that place of redemption, he rose to become one of the most influential Christian music artists in history—earning dozens of awards and impacting millions through worship. His life became a living testimony that no matter how dark the chapter.may look, God can rewrite any destiny and He alone has the final say.

Truly no failure is final when God is involved. What looks like an ending to men can be a new beginning in God’s hands. He is able to redeem wasted years, rewrite broken stories, and turn near-destruction into destiny.
Many of us came dangerously close to ruin—emotionally, spiritually, physically, or financially. Yet here we are. Still standing. Blessed be the Lord, who has not allowed us to become prey to the enemy. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Today, you may not yet be where you desire to be this year, but then you are no longer where you used to be. As long as you remain among the living, hope remains.
In January, many began the race with us but did not finish it. That alone is reason enough to thank God. As long as you are alive, it is proof that God is not done with you.
Gratitude keeps your heart aligned with God’s purposes and positions you for continued elevation.
Therefore refuse to define this year by its hardships. Let thanksgiving define it.
As we keep thanking God, He will continue to lift us—from glory to glory and from victory to victory.

PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You for Your mercy that has preserved me this year. Thank You that my story did not end in defeat. I praise You from the depths of my heart because I know that You are still lifting me to greater heights of glory In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
