Word For 2025?

Over the last couple of years I have done away with the idea of a resolution. I’ve replaced it. I have re-thought the concept of what a new year brings. Let me explain.

Each year I have chosen a word that I study throughout the year. It’s a word that brings renewed understanding of the scripture as well as vision.

What word will it be for 2025? I have chosen words like, wait, as well as last year‘s word, rest. These have given me direction for how I contemplate and anticipate the year.

What would you choose? As you anticipate the coming year or what is God saying to you? 

Will it be a year of anticipated challenge? Will it be a year of transition? Is it a year where you feel more hopeful?

Perhaps there is something that God is wanting to teach you and he may, like me, put a word on your heart.

Dispense with the resolutions that bring pressure and anxiety. It often brings guilt because we tend to break our resolutions before the year is underway. Rather than the diet plan or the desire to save more money, try something different. It may be time to choose a word that helps you to remain focused.

Coupled with the word may be a scripture that you would look to help discern what God has for you. Each year he placed a passage of scripture on my heart that helped me maintain a spiritual growth in my life.

I haven’t quite figured out what my word will be, but I do believe that God is already beginning to stir in my spirit a focus that will guide me throughout 2025.
