Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24 (ESV)
MANY PEOPLE SELECT a word for the new year that becomes a theme, a meditation and a prayer for the next twelve months. To find your word, sit down and pray. Make a list of words that come to you. Perhaps you’ll come up with something like balance, patience or abundance. The possibilities are endless!
Heavenly Father, guide me to a word for the coming year. A word that will help me grow.
I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.—Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.—Jeremiah 10:12 (NIV)
