Okay, so most people shy away from New Year Resolutions and for good reason. We try to accomplish our goals all on our power. That is where we fall short.
As Christians, we are tapped into the most incredible power available anywhere in the Universe. As we make plans, goals, resolutions, it is not such a bad thing if we do a couple of simple things:
*First, acknowledge that we cannot do this on our own. We need God’s power working in us in order to accomplish our goals. Fortunately, this is exactly what Scripture says is true. God’s power does work in us when we allow it to!
* Second, seek goals that are in line with God’s will for our lives. Fortunately this too is pretty simple to do since God’s Word tells us most everything we need to know in order to do His will.
* Third, trust God that you are becoming more and more of the person of Christ that He wants you to be. Again, this is not just for a select few but for everyone who is a follower of Jesus. The Bible teaches that we are made and being conformed into the image of Christ.
So – go ahead – make those goals, plans and resolutions. After all, you have all of heaven waiting to help you accomplish them!
Many blessings and much love ---
