God has broken through for us this year despite impossible odds stacked against us. You made it to December 31st not because of your strength but because of His mighty intervention.

When barriers seemed immovable and obstacles appeared insurmountable, God has broken through like a bursting flood, washing away every enemy. His power shattered what you couldn’t shake.

Today marks the end of another year, in which God broke through in ways you couldn’t have imagined. Look back and see His hand moving mountains you thought would crush you.

God Has Broken Through: Key Takeaway

  • When we seek God’s guidance and trust His timing, He breaks through impossible barriers for us.

Anchor Bible Verse of the day

So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, ‘The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.’ Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

— 2 Samuel 5:20 (NKJV)

David faced the Philistine army shortly after becoming king over all Israel. Instead of relying on his military experience, David inquired of the LORD about whether to attack. God promised victory.

God has broken through the Philistine forces so decisively that David compared it to a flood bursting through a dam. The victory was so overwhelming that David named the place “Baal Perazim,” meaning “Lord of Breakthroughs.”

This verse establishes that breakthrough belongs to God alone. David didn’t claim the victory as his own achievement but recognized that God had broken through on his behalf like unstoppable waters.

Key Explanations

  • The LORD has broken through my enemies before me: God Himself fought the battle, going ahead of David to scatter and defeat his enemies, demonstrating that victory comes from divine intervention rather than human strength or strategy.
  • Like a breakthrough of water: The comparison to floodwaters bursting through a dam illustrates God’s unstoppable power. When God moves, nothing can stand in His way, and His force carries away every obstacle.
  • Baal Perazim: David named this place “Lord of Breakthroughs” to commemorate God’s intervention, creating a permanent reminder that when God breaks through, He does so completely and decisively.

God Has Broken Through: A Reflection

God has broken through for you this year in ways you may not have fully recognized until now.

Looking back at January, did you imagine you’d make it through all the challenges you faced? Yet here you stand at year’s end because God has broken through every barrier.

Philippians 4:13 declares, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

This verse reinforces that breakthrough power comes from Christ, not from us. Every obstacle you overcame this year happened because Jesus has already overcome the world. His victory became your victory.

Note how David approached his enemies. He didn’t rush into battle presuming on past successes. He inquired of the Lord first.

Whenever God broke through for you, it’s always because you positioned yourself to receive His help through prayer, worship, or dependence on Him.

Think about the Israelites at the Red Sea. They faced Pharaoh’s army behind them and water before them. But when God moved, the sea parted.

God has broken through impossibilities throughout Scripture, and He hasn’t changed. The same God who parted the Red Sea has made a way through your impossible moments this year.

Today, on this final day of the year, you need to press toward the goal with confidence because God has broken through before and will do it again.

Don’t enter the new year doubting His power to overcome what lies ahead. The God who brought you through this year will carry you through the next.

David’s victory at Baal Perazim teaches us that God’s breakthrough comes like floodwaters. It’s sudden, powerful, and complete.

Your breakthrough may come the same way. What seems impossible today could be swept away tomorrow when God breaks through on your behalf.

Wait for His timing and trust His methods.

Blessings..!
