Be Still

Every year I choose a word or phrase for the upcoming new year. I have used words such as Serenity, Care, Love, etc. Usually when deciding my word or phrase I don’t look for the word. I let the word come to me. Over the last few years I haven’t been really listening to God’s voice. I hear things He tells me but I don’t really listen to what I think He is telling me.

I started seeing the words BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD come up on facebook, instagram and sometimes even tiktok. I took this as God’s voice telling me that I need to sit down shut up and listen to Him.

In 2024 I will Be Still and listen for God’s voice. I will hear what He has to tell me and know that He is God.

I have a hard time keeping up with a devotional. I try it at the beginning of every year but usually after a week I have given up on it. It’s not that I don’t want to study the word of God. It just doesn’t hold an interest for me. I want to change that. I want to make time for God every day in a way that interests me. A few years ago I got a coloring book that has Bible verses as the coloring pages. I’m going to take some time every day to color part of a page. It might not look like studying the word of God the way it does to some but it’s a start right?
