Word for 2025

Herewe are, another new year. Which means that it’s time to present my word of theyear.

Lastyear, my word was comfort. I remember lying in bed one night in January,unable to sleep because I was worried about my cardiac stress test that wasscheduled for the next day. And God spoke Psalm 94:19 to me. “When my worry isgreat within me, Your comfort brings joy to my soul.”

Ifell asleep repeating that verse and did fine on the stress test.

For2025, listening to the news and how our world is falling apart, I might needeven more than comfort. I might need a place to shelter, a refuge fromthe chaos. Andjust like He provides us with comfort, God supplies us with a safe refugeas well.

Psalm 91 – NIV

Whoeverdwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Surely, Hewill save me from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He willcover me with His feathers, and under His wings I will find refuge; Hisfaithfulness will be my shield and rampart. I will not fear the terror ofnight, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in thedarkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

Athousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will notcome near me. I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of thewicked.

If I say,“The Lord is my refuge,” and I make the Most High my dwelling, no harm willovertake me, no disaster will come near my home. For He will command His angelsconcerning me to guard me in all my ways; they will lift me up in their hands, sothat I will not strike my foot against a stone. I will tread on the lion andthe cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpent.

     “Becauseyou love Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue you; I will protect you, for you acknowledgeMy name. You will call on Me, and I will answer you; I will be with you introuble, I will deliver you and honor you. With long life I will satisfy you andshow you My salvation.”

Sorrythat this got so long, but I wanted to share the entire chapter, not just oneverse.

Ipray you all got through 2024 and are eager to see what 2025 has to offer. Godbless you.
