God’s Word in 2026

Psalm 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

As the New Year approaches, many people will be making resolutions for 2026. A large majority of those resolutions will regard finance and health. While financial stewardship and personal well-being are important, spiritual well-being is even more vital.

Speaking of God’s Word in Psalm 19, the text verse states that God’s Word is more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold. If God’s Word is more valuable than any of this world’s most treasured assets, then we must set time aside for the reading, studying, meditating, and memorizing of God’s Word.  

For those who do not know where to start, I would encourage every Christian to read through the Bible in a year. This method takes about 15-20 minutes each day and requires reading an average of 85 verses. Reading a chapter of Proverbs (31 chapters) will allow you to read through the book every month. Spending only 5 minutes a day memorizing Scripture will amount to over 30 hours of Scripture memory in 2026. 

If we had the opportunity to choose between our Bible or money in the bank this upcoming year, we would be foolish not to choose the perfect inspired Word of God. We have and hold His perfect Word in our hands. May God help us read and apply Scripture on a daily basis this upcoming year that we may grow closer in our relationship and walk with Him.

Psalm 119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Reflection—Whether history, poetry, prophecy, instruction of wisdom and knowledge, God’s Word is always right and true—whereas gold often lies and deceives.
