At Gold Hill, we take one verse of the Bible each year and set it as a theme and a focus, something to keep coming back to and shape who we are. And this year, the verse is…
Our verse for 2025 is Psalm 37:4 ‘Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.’
As part of the next season of the church’s story in Chalfont and beyond we are responding to God’s invitation and instruction to grow deeper with Him and by doing so go further. Too often we put productivity or outcomes or desires first…but with God, He always seeks intimacy before productivity; communion before outcomes. Learning to delight ourselves in the LORD more will be a journey that will take the rest of our lives and our relationships with Him will be remarkably different if we obediently follow his call to trust and delight in Him.
Keep the verse close to hand
For lots of us, in the busyness of life, it’s easy to forget things that are important and to slip into self-reliance instead of reliance on God. This verse is a great way to remind us, but to be reminded we need to see it and remember it often. Something that most of us look at dozens (if not hundreds!) of times a day is our mobile phone. So we have made a few different versions of this verse to be used as a Lock Screen for you your phone. If you’d find that helpful, download one, set it as your Lock Screen image, and pray it when you see it.
(If you find yourself starting to miss it because it’s too familiar, switch up the design so it catches your attention again!)
To download, just right click on the image (or press and hold on a phone) and save the image. Then you can set it as your Lock Screen through your phone’s settings.
