"one little word"
I believe that there is great power in the Word of God. The “one little word” project is an attempt to explore the power of that Word as given to an individual through prayer, bible study and reflection. The question is who do you want to become in light of who God has called you to be? You can Google “one little word” and find lots of non –Christian references. New Year resolutions come and go very quickly, but this project is to allow God to work in your life and for your focus to become His word for you that last an entire year in your life. “One Little Word” takes its name from the third stanza of Dr. Martin Luther’s most well-known hymn, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Though hoards of devils fill the land Words like abide, abundance, obey, expect, prayer, surrender, delight, submit and listen can be a very powerful experience as you allow God to guide you in your word. This happens in your daily life, in prayer, relationships and bible study. Resources for one little word
I heard about the "one little word" project a few years ago over at Ali Edwards blog. I immediately thought about what word does God want me to focus on, not what hear others saying. Ali talks about what will you create to help you focus on the word for the year, and I was inspired to create a faith art canvas with my word. My first canvas was "the light." Adore Him Creations faith art "one little word" canvas project is finding a single word (contained in a bible verse?) that is a catalyst for enriching your life. It is about choosing a word that you can focus on, mediate on, and reflect upon as you go about your daily life. It was a very powerful experience and I treasure the faith art that God allowed me to create. It became really popular with my friends too, as you can see in the slide show. We had a craft day, and about 10 women each created their own faith art "one little word" canvas.
