At the dawn of each new year faithful believers around the country make resolutions to get closer to God and to commit themselves to more serious spiritual growth. Regrettably, much like our weight loss goals, these resolutions quickly evaporate as we get back in the swing of things and the pressure of our daily routine kicks in. I heard someone say, “May all your troubles last as long as your New Year resolutions.” It’s funny because it’s true! Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Proverbs tells us that the key to a successful spiritual life, is keeping the Word of God in front of us at all times. That’s because God’s Word is our ONLY means of spiritual Growth!

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20-22

There are some simple things each and every one of us can do to grow spiritually this year.

12 Keys to Spiritual Growth in 2012

  1. Place Bible verses on your refrigerator and your bathroom mirror. Don’t open your fridge or pass by that mirror without reading them out loud.
  2. Tie a string around your finger to remind you to pray that day (you’d be amazed at how effective this is and it’s a good conversation starter).
  3. Read at least one chapter in your Bible everyday.
  4. Call your Christian friends just to discuss Bible passages.
  5. Keep Bible verses in your wallet or your purse.
  6. Listen to preaching and teaching while you’re getting ready in the morning or driving in your car.
  7. Choose a friend to keep you accountable to the study of God’s Word.
  8. Memorize a Bible verse.
  9. Make it a goal to find a way to pray and speak God’s Word in every place you travel or visit (Pray in every room of your house).
  10. Commit to attending every service at your Church.
  11. Each week determine to become the answer to someone else’s prayer.
  12. Take time to Worship God for who He is, each and everyday.
