I've been pondering on a word that I felt God wants me to focus on in 2015.
I truly thought it was "silence"......
or maybe "wisdom"......
or could it be "encourage"?
It suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks as I sat thinking once again Monday morning about a specific word.....
and I realized.....
God had already given it to me.....
PONDER!
Oh, how I've always loved that word anyway!
And, I kinda have to be silent to PONDER.....
and often it's best to PONDER than to speak my mind,
so that's pretty wise, right?
Plus, I can always PONDER ways to be an encouragement to someone else!
I ♥ my word!
How about y'all?
Do you allow God to direct your path to a certain word to ponder on throughout the year?
I'd love to hear what your word is for Twenty-Fifteen!
Breathing in Grace,

This was written on Monday.
I couldn't sleep Monday night so got up early and sat down in my devotional chair to do a bit of reading. I was lead to Daniel 8:28 and came across the word "cogitations".....
(in the KJV).
I had never noticed that word before,
so like most of us would do I "Googled" it!
Definition of cogitation:
the action of thinking deeply about something:
contemplation......
to PONDER.
Yes, I'm going to LOVE seeing how God speaks to me about this word in 2015!!!

I'm not sure you'd ever go back to see how I responded to your comment, so decided to come here to say that I like your "word"! Immediately when I read it, I thought of one of MANY verses in Praise to the Lord, The Almighty - a song I learned as a teen:
ReplyDelete"Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
PONDER ANEW what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee." :)
Confirmation from the Lord....He's talking to you again sweet friend! Love your word, I just know your 'pondering' will lead to blessings for others. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI love it! PONDER! Wow! That can bring on some deep meaning sister! Happy New Year! Love you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of this before, a word for the year. I wonder if I have one. Maybe "go" like on an adventure, boldy.
I like your word. That is a good one. I was studying up on what mine should be over the weekend. I have so many that I am having a hard time making up my mind. I hope to decide in the next couple of days.
