Read James 1:17 NIV

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” 

A word for the year. Pastor Danielle shared today that we sometimes like to lean into certain words that might seem to bring something good. But the reality is no matter what our word of the year might be, something good can come out of it. Because whether our word is something like ‘joy’ or ‘dwell’ or some other word God has spoken to us, He will use that word to grow us when we submit to Him.

James 1:17 NIV says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” 

The word God gives us is a gift to us. A gift to explore and learn throughout the new year. A gift that we cannot mold or change into what we want it to be, but one that He will use to change us to be more like Him. Let’s pray about our word, press into whatever it is, and really grow into all He has for us this year.
