As we thank God for the year behind and trust Him for the year ahead, we also need to participate in its outcome. When I sit here next year – what would I like to see different?How would I like to grow?
Far and away, for me, is the desire to grow in my relationship with God. How is it I can participate in that growth and be open to the steps He has for me?
One of the greatest gifts He has given us is the Bible. It is not just a mere tool, but by the power of the Spirit, it is alive and life giving. If we want to know God, want to “hear His voice”, we need to listen and take to heart what He has spoken.
The Bible is the very Word of God. Whatever understanding we gain from it will draw us closer to God. This text is our standard of truth by which we can measure all things and it is how God has chosen to reveal more about Himself. In fact, He has commanded us to know His Word and promised us blessings for being obedient.
Join with me this year in reading the text. I want it to inhabit every part of my life. And may my relationship with the Truth grow ever stronger.
Jesus answered, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life…” John 14:6
