Did you choose One Word for the year way back in January? Do you remember it? I’m posting a One Word exercise at the beginning of each month that may help as we try to cooperate with God’s work in our life. If you want to look at the first three prompts, look here , here and here
This past Sunday I preached on Jesus being tempted by Satan in the wilderness. There is so much in this passage, but the overwhelming message is that we each face our own wilderness – places of temptation. We are in a battle, but God has equipped us for it. The one offensive weapon He gives us is “the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God” (Ephesians 6:1). So… a question:
Are we effectively using God’s Word to grow in our One Word?
My idea for this month is to find a verse or passage to personalize and memorize that may help us in this journey of transformation. So my one word is “fruit”. I found these verses in Psalm 1 and have personalized them.
My delight is in the law of the Lord,
and I meditate on his law day and night. I am
like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season. Psalm 1:2-3
Confession: I work hard at it, but I’m a terrible memorizer. Can I share a resource that’s been hugely helpful to me? It’s called Scripture Typer You can input the verses you want to memorize and it takes you through a process where you type the verse with it in front of you first, then with some words missing, and then from memory. It saves and tracks your progress. As a visual learner it’s been great for me. Check it out!
AND…I’d LOVE for you to share your verses in the comments below!
