Measured by God, Not the World

Monday, December 22, 2025
Zechariah 2:1–3:10 | Revelation 13 | Psalm 141 | Proverbs 30:18–20
As the year closes, God reminds us that what belongs to Him is measured by His hand, not the world’s standards. Zechariah sees God marking out what He intends to protect. Revelation exposes counterfeit power that looks impressive but cannot preserve life.
Finishing faithful means discerning what carried God’s approval—and what only carried applause.
Psalm 141 teaches us how to end the year praying, not performing. Proverbs reminds us that some things are mysterious, subtle, and revealing. Not everything announces itself loudly—but truth always leaves a mark.
Before rushing into a new year, pause. Let God finish His work of cleansing, not condemning. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s alignment.
Prayer:
Lord, show me what You measured as faithful this year. Remove what doesn’t belong and seal what does.
