Evening Meditation

Birthdays invite reflection—on time, change, and God’s steady presence through it all. In tonight’s gentle and encouraging episode, Meg Bucher explores the beauty and significance of marking another year of life through the lens of Revelation 1:8, where God declares Himself as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

As our bodies age and seasons shift, the unchanging nature of God becomes more precious. He who "always was" and "always will be" continues to shape our journey, with care, purpose, and divine precision. Whether your birthday feels joyful, bittersweet, or uncertain, this episode is a timely reminder that each new year is an invitation to trust God more deeply and to embrace the unique calling He has for you—right now.

Main Takeaways

• Be reminded that God is unchanging—a faithful constant in every era of your life.

• Recognize that each birthday is not just a celebration of life, but a step closer to the eternal plans of God.

• Reflect on how aging brings spiritual clarity, peace, and renewed purpose.

• Find joy in knowing that God designed your journey with intention, and He is still at work in you this year.
