1 year - 12 months, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds - is the time span that we have journeyed through, with ups and downs and twists and turns. We are at the threshold of a new voyage, busy buying gifts, decorating homes and preparing delicious dinners. Right now the most important duty is to acknowledge Him, who extended His ultimate providence that has protected us, as quoted in Deuteronomy 32:10, “He cared for him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.” and kept us safe under His watchful surveillance, "Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, That hovers over its young, He spread His wings and caught them, He carried them on His pinions” (Deuteronomy 32:11). Oh! What a privilege that we should celebrate in jubilation and acknowledge Him, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing” (Ps 100:1-2).

Abba, we humbly bow down before You and acknowledge You for your protection. Let your Spirit rejoice in praising you. Amen!
