As Herb preached Sunday, he shared his message for the upcoming year. For most years, he's always had a cute little saying to help remember the message for that year. Here are a few examples: there's an open heaven in 2007 (or 2011), an open gate in 2008, all's fine in 2009..., but what rhymes with twelve, very little. I can think of two words that do: delve and shelve. Delve means 1.to seek laboriously for information, 2.to dig or labor with a spade, and an archaic meaning:to excavate. Shelve means 1. to furnish with shelves, 2. to place on a shelf, 3. a. to put on a shelf:dismiss, b.to put off or aside and 4.to incline (like a shelf).
I think 2012 should be the time to delve into God's Word, worship, and the prophetic destiny for one's life. It is not the time to shelve any callings and talents God has placed within His people. However, we must shelve (put aside) those things that are keeping us from fulfilling God's purpose in life.
So I told my hubby today that the saying for the year is "delve in 2012." But remember to shelve the unproductive traits and don't shelve the giftings from God. To shelve or not shelve may be the question, but in the meantime delve deeply in 2012!.
