You
were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, . . and to be
renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new
self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and
holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24
Albeit,
easier said than done. Today is the 3rd
of January. Have you made your new year
resolution(s)? What might they consist
of? What is it that you want to change
in your life? Where do your priorities
lie? Are the ideals that we think we
might like to have actually what we want in our life. It’s much easier to say we want something
than to actually work toward it.
Although
a new year is a great time to make changes in your life, don’t be over
ambitious with your resolutions. Too
often we try to bite off more than we can possibly achieve. Remember, resolutions are similar to goals –
those things we actually want to achieve in our life. Goal-setting ideally involves establishing specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bounded (S.M.A.R.T.) objectives.
It’s
not too late to make your resolutions.
Where is God calling you to make changes, to improve your life, to grow
in knowledge or wisdom, or minister in his Name. Take time to make a prayerful decision when
choosing your resolutions. Remember when
God is in the equation, all things are possible.
Dear
God, help me to see where I need to make changes during the coming months. Give me the strength and perseverance needed to
remain true to the resolutions we make together. Amen.
