Devot. Word of the Year

HI Folks,

 

I hope you had a super weekend! 

 

This devot focuses on our New Year and finding motivation and encouragement from God's Word through a specific word.  The article and devot. below are a bit unique.  Let me give an example beforehand of how I see the context of this topic.

 

 At the beginning  of the New Year, some Christians will find a verses of Scripture that speaks to their heart, encourages and inspires them. They will use this verse as a "life verse"-a Scripture to base their life on, find strength in, an everyday reminder.    This devot. is on finding a specific word as your spiritual encouragement for the year.  

 

In Genesis we see that God SPOKE the world into existence and Proverbs 18:21 says that "life and death are in the power of the tongue..."  Words have power to bring forth life as we see in Genesis.  The Scriptural principle behind Proverb 18:21 is that indeed our words can bring encouragement, discouragement, even the outcome of matters can be determined by what we say (My family and I have seen this is real ways in our own lives).

There is a quiz below from Dayspring.com for finding your word of encouragement  for the New Year  and then a devot. that explains why finding a word for the year can help you live intentionally and serve God more fully.  

 

I pray that this will encourage your life, give you a word or verse from Scripture for you to hold onto through 2019.

 

Lord bless you and yours this week!
