2023 Word

​It’s that time of the year again; the time when many are sharing their word for the year.  The choice of your word speaks to your goals, aspirations and perhaps challenges for the upcoming year.  I always struggled to land on one word.  Life is so complex and multi-faceted that I found it hard to believe that one word would capture all that I have in my mind to do, accomplish or involve myself in.
That is why I love this verse in Psalm 119:103 which says; How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Here is a part of the whole Psalms.
Psalm 119:97-104
97 Oh, how I love your law!
    I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands are always with me
    and make me wiser than my enemies.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
    for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
    for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
    so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws,
    for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
    therefore I hate every wrong path.
 
It confirms to me that although I may find it hard to focus on one word, I can depend on The Word.  I know that I have access to many words from God to reflect on during the year. 
  • Words to meditate on when I am anxious and in need of peace and serenity (v. 97)
  • Words to help me grow in wisdom and allow me to understand myself and others better (v.98-100).
  • Words which show the better choices to make and what to avoid to keep me from bringing pain to myself and others (v.101).
In the Bible, God’s Word, the complexity of life and the provision and promises of  God are there to keep me focused.
This year I did choose a word.  My word is Faithful, but remember, if you are able to choose one word, don’t forget to also choose The Word this year.
