How are those resolutions coming? More like a revolution? Somewhat of a confusion? Battling midsection protrusion? Here’s a better solution:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2). Instead of seeking our own will, or attempting to perfect our ways, let’s trust God to lead us down His paths. The LORD says,
“I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8 NLT).
For this new year which will feature more uncertainties than in past years, we need to cling to Jesus more than ever. He will help us with our circumstances, since He knows our struggles and petitions. Yes, we do need to put in some effort! However, let’s attempt His will first, then tackle sensible things. Finally,
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13,14).
We shall give an account to God for all our ways-good or bad. Might as well start on those things that really matter.
God Bless!
Happy New Year!
