Finishing 2025 Restored and at Rest

Scripture Reading:
“When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” — Psalm 126:1

🕊️ MEDITATION
God is not only the God of beginnings — He is the God of finishes.
Some people start the year strong but end it weary, disappointed, or discouraged.
But God has the power to rewrite endings.
Restoration does not always begin early, but when it begins, it accelerates.
What God restores at the end of a season often exceeds what was lost at the beginning.
2025 will not close with regret; it will close with testimony.

📌 THREE WAYS GOD ENSURES A STRONG FINISH

1. God Restores Joy and Wonder
   What once felt impossible becomes your praise.
   Scripture: “Then was our mouth filled with laughter…” — Psalm 126:2
2. God Restores Fruitfulness Quickly
   Lost time is redeemed speedily.
   Scripture: “The plowman shall overtake the reaper…” — Amos 9:13
3. God Establishes What He Restores
   Restoration that lasts is rooted.
   Scripture: “I will plant them in this land assuredly…” — Jeremiah 32:41
