Resolutions?

New Year's Resolutions. What a ridiculous notion. Because saying that you will do it next year is going to help you attain your goal of loosing twenty pounds or becoming the next CEO of a Fortune 500 company. I'm sorry to kill your dreams my friends, but you will not fulfill your goals any better in the coming year than you did last year. So set aside your worldly goals and seek to do something heavenly. I, too, have attempted many New Year's Resolutions, and I don't believe I have completed one yet. That is because there was no drive, no passion, behind my goal. What could be done if we truly desired to complete our resolutions? As I have challenged myself, I challenge you to seek God's will in this coming year. Ask the Lord what it is that He desires for you to accomplish in 2013. Be willing to hear Him tell you that it will be hard and you may have to give up something that you think you can't live without. Simply ask God, "What can I do for You this year?" And then listen and simply write what He puts on your heart. Put that piece of paper in a place where you can see it. Every morning look at it and ask God to help you do what it is that you wrote on that paper. I believe that next year at this time, you will be amazed at what how completely God fulfilled His story through you! This is not only a challenge for you, but also one for me, too! So set aside your worldly goals and aspiration, because none of it will last; strive to complete the task that God will give you this year! Have courage and divorce yourself from the ways of this world, the LORD will help you!
