SEEK GOD with Guidance

January 03, 2024
By Ken Friesen, EdD, Superintendent

Welcome to 2024, where you will have the opportunity to experience God’s goodness in multiple ways. As we anticipate experiencing the best that God has for us in the year ahead, we can do so in the context of 1 Samuel chapter 3, where we read how Samuel, as a young boy, was being called by God into His service. Samuel’s response, with Eli’s guidance, was to respond to God’s voice by saying, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”  

Our spiritual theme for the month of January is to “seek God with guidance.” Just as it was with Samuel, our guidance may come from another person in whom we have trust and confidence. It may also come from Scripture we read or directly from the Holy Spirit, all as a result of our prayers to hear God’s voice and to know His heart. May we all have a spirit of intentionality to seek God with guidance using the various sources He has given us, and may we have the discernment to know His heart in the matters for which we are seeking guidance.  

Praying God’s best for you in the year ahead.
