2. In 2025, We Will Go Deeper In God’s Word G rowing in the Word. We need the whole Word of God to understand any and all parts of it. One section without the others only brings confusion! God has written us a letter; it is complete, and true. When you "sacrifice" the time to dig into that Word, asking Him for understanding, and using the tools to check the translations, His Word will bring happiness and peace of mind. The Word of God is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and relevant to all God expects us to be thoughtful people. What we think about is important. Therefore, we should meditate upon God’s word. The psalmist wrote of the blessed man: “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:2). 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” All Christians have an obligation to increase in their knowledge and understanding of the Lord. To do this, we must become more acquainted with His Word. With your support and with God’s blessing in 2025 areas of our lives today from the youngest to the oldest. We Desire to Grow in the Word of God • We will develop a daily devotion campaign in our homes, {Example: reading, praying and singing. • We will read our Bible daily consistently ensuring that we will read the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation by the end of the year 2025.
