Psalm 124:1-3 (NIV), Psalm 127:1
If the Lord had not been on our side — let Israel say — if the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us, when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive. *Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

If you genuinely understand the abundant mercy and grace that God has shown you this year, today you will worship Him with abundant joy, gratitude and gladness like never before. There are many things that others did not survive this year that you survived. Why do you think you survived? It was because the Lord was on your side. If you built anything or anyone this year, it was not because you were such a wonderful master builder that you succeeded. It was because the Lord was on your side.
The reason you were safe and delivered from every attack that came against your life this year was not because of how security conscious you were or how good your security facilities and personnel were. It was because the Lord was on your side. It is of the Lord's mercies that you were not consumed by everything that attempted to consume you this year. Celebrate God for the immeasurable mercies that He shown you this year. Celebrate God for His innumerable grace.
Worship God and praise Him for how He has been on your side and how He has bestowed His love upon you this year. Dance and sing and give an offering of thanksgiving unto Him. When Michal, David's wife, despised him for the way he was danced before the Lord, according to the Good News Bible, David answered, "I was dancing to honor the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and his family to make me the leader of his people Israel. And I will go on dancing to honor the LORD.
PRAYER FOCUS: Worship and thank God for being by your side and for how He has preserved and upheld you this year.
