The other day, I fell back into old habits. I spent too much time scrolling social media and snacked on “healthy” candy like it was fruit. Once I realized what I was doing, I reached out to Jesus. After praying, I saw how my eyes were not fixed on Jesus. I got distracted and noticed I picked up my phone as soon as I felt bored. 1 Chronicles 16:11 is, “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!” Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001 I need to seek God continuously.

“One Word for the Year” involves selecting one word to meditate on throughout the year. I have tried this devotional tool before and forgot my word by mid February. My word for 2025 is “commit”. I know God desires me to commit to a deeper relationship with him. Proverbs 16:3 is, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation I asked a friend to help me help me follow through this time. She told me to display the word “commit” where I will see it daily. I added a note, “Commit in 2025” to the lock screenRead More →
