Several years ago our church did a "one word" focus encouraging people to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal a characteristic that God was wanting to work on in them. The first year I learned of this my word was "gentleness". I kept that word in my heart and allowed the Holy Spirit to work on me for several years. When I felt I had made the needed progress the next word I felt directed to was "listening". Some people may change words every year but apparently I'm a little more hard-headed because it usually takes a few years for me to really feel growth in those areas. This week I was reminded of this practice and God gave me a new word, "dependent"(John 5:19). Is there a characteristic God is working on in you? What scripture has He given you to stand on?
