“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)

“Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and [b]not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.” Psalm 100:3 (NKJV)

Usually when we hear the word meddle, when we call someone a meddler, it’s not a compliment. Medders are busy bodies, often inserting themselves into matters that don’t concern them.

But when we think about God, the great meddler, hallelujah, when He meddles, it’s different. We want God to meddle in our lives, by definition, to meddle is to interfere, it’s to butt in, or to intrude. It can also mean to intervene or to mess with.

So when we apply those definitions to our God, He is the great meddler. And if we are smart, if we are smart, we want him to meddle in our lives in 2026, let’s resolve, let’s determine that we want to God, to interfere in any plans that does not line up with His plan for our lives. Hallelujah. Anything that is contrary to His will and His way, we want God to interrupt. We want God to interfere. We want God to intervene. The Bible says,

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is the way of destruction.” Proverbs 14:12

And we want him to mess with and to mess up anything that will pull us away from him.

We want him to meddle because He understands, what we understand that we are His concerned. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that He cares for us. He says, “I know this thoughts that I think towards His thoughts to bless you and not harm you.” paraphrased

That is why He meddles. Because He wants to bless us to not harm us. He wants to give us a hope and the future and to bring us to a good or expected end. He wants to be intimately involved in our lives, not on the outside, but He wants to be up close and personal. He meddles because He loves us and He wants what’s best for us.

I want to give us three reasons why God meddles, and then we are going to pray.

Reason one, He is our creator. What does that mean?

That means He owns us? We are we are the clay, He is the potter. Psalm 100 tells us that it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. He is the great Shepherd, but not only is He the great meddler, but He is the great shepherd, and He loves us. He leads us besides green pastures and besides two waters.

Reason number two, He is omniscient. That means He is all knowing. God, you know everything.

He knows what we are going to face in 2026. He knows us, and the Bible tells us, He knows the way that we take. He knows, He knows.

Psalm 139 says that He knows our thoughts, even before we think them. Every word in our mouths, He already knows it all together. He knows everything.

So why would we not want a God who knows everything, who sees the future, to not meddle in our lives?

That means He is all powerful. God has all power.

That means God can do anything.

That means that God can change our situation and circumstances in an instant.

And He has the power to speak to the storms and our lives and calm them so that we don’t have to fear.

That’s what He told the disciples on the boat when it looked like they were sinking. They said, “Master, don’t you care that we perish?”

But He cares, He cares. And He is omnipotent and He has the power. He spoke to the storm, He said, “Peace be still.,” and in an instant, this storm ceased, and God wants to do the same thing in our lives.

Now the question is, will we invite him in in 2026? Will we give him more access in 2026? Will we surrender our will, our rights, our way, our way of thinking, our desires?

When we give all to Jesus, as the Son says, we don’t want an awful I have surrender, but we want to bow down low. Going low was the way up. In God’s kingdom and in its economy, if we want to go higher, we got to go lower and that’s our prayer. That’s my prayer for myself. That’s my prayer for you. That’s our prayer for our church in 2026. That the God that we serve would be preeminent in our lives. That He would be our priority. That we would seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. And He has promised to add everything that we need.

I prayed that you take something away from it that as you go on we don’t go alone in 2026, when we don’t go alone, that’s when we’ll see good success.
