COT:
At church we were encouraged to do a Personal Growth Plan and choose a word for the year. My church chose Power. It’s tied to Acts 1:8.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Live in POWER in 2025
P – Prayer
O – Obedient
W – Worship
E – Evangelism
R – Rest

Our declaration is, “I declare I have received God’s power and it defines who I am.”

Let me know if you want me to send you the growth plan.

I chose Presence: the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing.

I encourage you to choose a word. Pray over it, Google Bible verses tied to the word, etc. I’ve found several verses and I’m trying to nail down the one I want to go with.

Let us know what word you choose:
Possible words:
Warrior
Champion
Love
Perceiver
Empowered
Happy
Elevate
Breakthrough
Prepared
Presence

COT:
C.S. Lewis spoke at length about joy in his book Surprised by Joy

Luke 2:10 – But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all people.”

Happiness & pleasure are fleeting and do not sustain. Joy however is deep in our souls. It comes from knowing the Almighty and His Love for Us. That does not mean that every path will be flat & wide. But carrying this Joy in our hearts will help us weather any storm.
