Let’s Make it Personal
June 17, 2026 | By Lynnette Burr-Lee |
Today, we will reflect on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Let’s practice personalizing Scripture so it comes alive in our everyday lives. Sometimes we read Scripture as instructions, but how often do we personalize it? How often do we turn God’s Word into daily affirmations?
Here, I’ll give you two examples of verses you can start with.
“I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; I will acknowledge Him in all my ways, and He shall direct my paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
“Father God, I give all my cares and worries to You because You care for me.” (1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

Imagine how beautiful those personalized words from God’s Word sound coming back to the ears of our loving Father, who listens so attentively to His children.
Three things I can promise you’ll receive by personalizing Scripture:
- Making it personal builds intimacy with God.
- Making it personal deepens your focus.
- Making it personal renews your mindset.
This month, we are celebrating our SALT graduates because they were reminded that spiritual growth happens when God’s Word becomes personal. Each graduate has chosen to invest in learning, growing, and allowing God’s truth to shape their lives.
Today, I encourage you to ask yourself: “What is my next step?”
Perhaps God is leading you to become a future SALT student and deepen your understanding of His Word. Perhaps He is calling you to become a donor, helping make it possible for others to experience the life-changing benefits of the SALT program.
