My ONE WORD for 2026....

My One Word for 2025 was ABIDE.  I wanted to abide in God's word every day.  And, I want to continue to do that.  It must become a part of who I am, every day.  My One Word for 2026 I think is going to be BELIEVE!

"Why?" you ask.  I don't know if I am the only person who does this but I believe God's word.  I believe He heals....others - I believe He answers prayer....of others - I believe He intervenes in people's lives... the lives of others -  Do you see where I am going with this?  Its not that I don't believe, its just that its hard to believe the promises of God for myself.  I know, I know!  That is awful.  However, if I am being honest with myself, it is definitely an area that I struggle with.  And, having said that, the Lord has often intervened, often answered prayer, always fulfilled His promises to me.  Its just this lack of faith thing right?!

So, my goal this year is to make a concerted FAITH effort to BELIEVE God's word for myself.  That He means what He says, for me also.  It is a step of faith, it is a confirmation of faith to stand on what God says and say, "Yes, this word is meant for me too!"  

Isaiah 55 vs 11:  So shall My word be that goes out from my mouth;  it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Numbers 23 vs 19:  God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Has He said, and will He not do it?  Or has He spoken, and will He not fulfill it?

God does not lie!  His word is truth!  So if He says something in His word applicable to the people who have been saved through Christ Jesus, then it is applicable to me too.  In those moments when I doubt, I want to build onto this One Word for 2026 to remind myself, to state out loud, that God's promises are for me too and stand in faith that what God says, will come to pass.  What He intends will happen, and nothing He says or does will return void.  

Now, while I will be building my faith to BELIEVE God's word is true for me too, I am mindful of the fact that God's promises are also conditional.  He expects certain behaviours from me too.  I will be working on that too, and I think we all will be working on those things for our whole lives.  Paul says we are to grow from glory to glory and that is only possible with the Lord in our lives, daily.

Psalm 147 vs 4:  He determines the number of the stars;  He gives to all of them their names.

Luke 12 vs 7:  Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear not;  you are of more value than many sparrows.

☝ Just a biblical reminder that shows us that each and every one of us is loved by God completely and thus His word is for each and every one of us, not just for someone else!  

Join me on my journey and lets encourage one another!  

What is your ONE WORD for 2026?

God bless
