Half Yearly Review - 2025

Scripture Reference: Ps 40:4-5

Nothing is surprise to the Lord. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. He is doing more than we ask for. Sometimes, we may not understand why did allow or not allow or delay certain things. There are 3 possible scenarios that I have come across to our requests.

God says YES to see our gratitude towards Him. He says NO to test our trust in Him. He DELAYS our requests to measure our patience with His timing.

David's life provides valuable lessons, as these three scenarios strengthened him and shaped him into the person the Lord intended him to be. In Ps 40:4, David declared that God have done many wonderful things. According to him, trying to list all the the Lord has done is like trying to count the stars or grains of—an impossible task. They're too numerous to handle, and we'd probably give halfway through. God is so good that we run out of words faster than a chatter a silent retreat. Describing Him might require thousand tongues and even then, we'd only scratch the surface. nature, deeds, and thoughts towards us are so vast, they'd leave human language and logic feeling utterly inadequate.

If we give ourselves over to God, by turning our backs on the world's sure thing, ignore what the world worships, God's reserved huge stockpile of God-wonders and God-thoughts available to us. To express this in simple Biblical language, GOD blesses all who trust in Him. Those who Trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, it can not be moved and abides forever (Ps 125:1). Blessing after blessing comes to those who love and trust the Lord. Hallelujah.

On top of showing his Gratitude for the blessings, He had a super confidence that the Lord have planned marvellous things for him. He worshipped Him by proclaim that He had made wonderful plans for him. This was not merely a positive confession, but an unwavering trust, a steadfast, serene lifestyle that David practiced throughout his life. Let all who seek You shout for Joy and be glad in You. Surely God is my salvation, I will Trust and not be afraid (Is 12:2).

Let us read Your letter what You wrote about us; Let us enter to the party, You are throwing for us; Let God's WORD enter my life, become part of my very being. Let God allow us to enjoy great and unsearchable things planned for us. Let us joyfully dwell in the store of divine marvels, wonders without number, beyond computation.

Father God, as we rewind the journey so far in 2025, we are whole heartedly declaring like David, You have done many wonderful things. At the same time, You have planned many marvellous things already. No one is like You. Nothing compare to You. Your thoughts concerning us are beyond computation. They are higher than earth. Your ways are higher than our thoughts (IS 55:8-9). No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined what GOD has prepared for us (1 Cor 2:9).  You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You will not grow tired or weary. Your understanding is beyond searching out (Is 40:28). Thank you for the many miracles and Wonders in the first half of 2025. You have multiplied Your wonderous deeds and thoughts towards us for the second half of the year. I place my Trust in the Lord always. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
