“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12

December 30 sits in a quiet but powerful space on the calendar. Christmas is behind us, the New Year is within reach, and the pace of life briefly slows. This is a moment of reflection and alignment. For God’s Prepared Warriors, this is not merely the end of a year—it is a checkpoint. A time to look back with honesty, look forward with faith, and stand ready for what God will do next.

As this year comes to a close, it is natural to measure success by goals met or missed, plans fulfilled or delayed. Yet Scripture reminds us that wisdom is not found in counting achievements, but in numbering our days before the Lord. Every day was an assignment. Every challenge was a training ground. Every victory was grace.

Preparedness is not just about what we store or what skills we gain; it is about who we are becoming. This year likely stretched you—physically, emotionally, spiritually. Some prayers were answered quickly; others remain unanswered. But none of it was wasted. God uses seasons, even hard ones, to shape warriors who are steady, disciplined, and anchored in Him.

As you stand on the edge of a new year, resist the urge to rush ahead. Pause. Ask God to refine your vision, correct your course where needed, and strengthen your resolve.

Prepared warriors do not fear the unknown because their trust is not in plans, but in the Lord who orders their steps.

In two days, a new year begins. Today, we prepare our hearts.

Let's Pray

Father God,Thank You for carrying me through this year. Thank You for the lessons learned, the strength gained, and the grace You provided in every season. As this year closes, search my heart and give me wisdom to see clearly. Prepare me—not just with knowledge and skill, but with faith, humility, and obedience. I place the coming year in Your hands. Lead me, refine me, and make me ready for whatever lies ahead.In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A prepared warrior does not fear tomorrow—he stands ready today, trusting the God who holds both the past and the future.
