Can I give you a tip for the New Year? Don’t “pick a word” for this year. We see it every year with people encouraging us to choose a word to claim for our selves and focus on that word and dwell on that word all year long. It’s not necessarily an activity that’s promoted only by Christian audiences either; it’s encouraged by the secular world as well. It’s much like a fad, as are many of the other ideas we find “for a season” in our culture. Those “words” for the year are often chosen hastily and based on temporary emotions and circumstances. They may not even be biblical in nature, but just random words chosen at whim. How many people who choose a "word” in January actually remember that word 8 months later? It seems often forgotten as quickly as it was posted.
