Isaiah 41:10 ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’

DAILY READING – Acts 19:1-20; Judges 10:1-11:33; Job 39

In 2012, an elderly member of Sofia West Seventh-day Adventist Church in Bulgaria had a remarkable answer to prayers. New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest holidays in Bulgaria. But while others were celebrating, Maria Bachvarova decided to spend the time in prayer.
Maria Bachvarova left her family and slipped into another room to pray in particular for her unsaved brother, Nikolai, who was 66 years old.
She was expecting Nikolai to join her family for the New Year’s celebration but that night he didn’t show up. He finally came next day and shared an interesting story. He said that by 10:30 p.m, he was on his way to Maria’s home. He went to the nearby tram stop and waited two hours for a tram, but none came. He was almost stranded when suddenly, a man and woman appeared from a nearby newly constructed apartment building and invited Nikolai to come into their home.
Nikolai entered a well-furnished apartment, and later ate a delicious meal and spent the night in a comfortable room. In the morning, his hosts woke him up and told him that a taxi was waiting outside. They had already paid the fare. Saying good-bye, they gave him a banknote of 50 Bulgarian lev, about U.S.$30. Nikolai had been flat broke.
After hearing this story Maria wept at how God had provided for her brother. She gave him a Bible and insisted that he go back and give it to the kind couple. Amazingly when Nikolai returned to the apartment building he found that it was unfinished and no one lived there.
When he returned to tell Maria, she understood that God must have sent angels to care for her penniless lonely brother on New Year’s Eve. She received the answer to her prayers for his salvation when this divine encounter so impacted Nikolai that he drew closer to God and started going to Church.

As the curtains finally closes on this year, let us stay in expectation and keep our eyes upon God because He is able to still answer our prayers and do inexplicable miracles.
We can still experience sudden angelic visitations and divine interventions.
Whatsoever we desire, no matter how small or big, God is able to accomplish it as we cast our cares upon Him, because He cares for us. [1Peter 5:7].
Looking back at this year, we can testify that God has taken good care of us. 2023 has been a race through 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes and 31,536,000 seconds. But God saw us through every inch of this race.
As we look back now we can see how God has faithfully guided us through tight corners, given us breakthroughs, open doors and divine lifting.
God has enabled us to pass safely through a year we had not gone through before. And now here we are at the end of this race, about to cross over to the next year. What can we say today, but lift up our voice and give continual praise to our faithful God.
As we stand at the threshold of 2024, though we may not know what tomorrow holds, we are glad that we know who holds tomorrow. And He has assured us that, as we put our trust in Him we shall never be ashamed. Therefore, let us spend the last remaining hours of 2023, in earnest praise and appreciation to our awesome God! Indeed God has done all things well for us. And as we praise Him for a successful year, certainly He will go ahead of us to smoothen every path for us in the coming year.

PRAYER: Lord, I deeply appreciate You for enabling me see this last day of 2023. Father I am very grateful. May all honor, worship and adoration be unto You now and forever in Jesus Mighty Name.
