Day 7
Psalm 65:9–13 (NET)
You visit the earth and give it rain;
you make it rich and fertile
with overflowing streams full of water.
You provide grain for them,
for you prepare the earth to yield its crops.
You saturate its furrows,
and soak its plowed ground.
With rain showers you soften its soil,
and make its crops grow.
You crown the year with your good blessings,
and you leave abundance in your wake.
The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture,
and the hills are clothed with joy.
The meadows are clothed with sheep,
and the valleys are covered with grain.
They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.

Abundance in Scripture is rarely loud or flashy. More often, it is patient, deliberate, and deeply intentional. Psalm 65 paints abundance not as a sudden miracle, but as the steady, faithful work of God over time.
Abundance begins with God’s presence. He visits the earth. He shows up. And when God is present, provision follows. The rain falls, the soil becomes fertile, and the crops grow.
The imagery of Psalm 65 speaks to the intimate work God desires to do inside of us. He doesn’t merely produce the harvest; He comes close. He saturates the ground with His presence. It soaks deep. What was once dry and parched becomes overflowing. And it is only in this fertile setting that God produces the fruit our eyes can finally see. But it all begins with His presence.
The abundant blessings of God are often missed when we seek quick answers, remain too busy for God, or resist allowing His presence to seep fully into our lives.
Psalm 65 reminds us that abundance is not accidental — it is the trail God leaves behind. As we step into a new year, we don’t pray merely for more. We pray to walk where God is walking, trusting that abundance will follow in His wake.
