So, we start a new year with renewed intentions AND a new word!
My word for 2012 is ABIDE....continue, endure, persevere, persist, remain, dwell, anticipate, bide, expect, linger, pause, remain , rest, sojourn.
Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 84: 2-4 2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young— a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
where she may have her young— a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;they are ever praising you.
Like the swallow, I want my place to be near the alter of the Most High. A place where I can rest.... dwell. ....sojourn.....abide.
