My Resolution

Traditionally, New Year’s Day (January 1^st) is when the world makes resolutions that could involve things like weight loss, being a nicer person, writing a book, or attending college. In the Christian community, commitments of more consistent Bible reading, church attendance, or prayer time are often made. Others never make New Year’s Resolutions (or plans in general) as they seem to be a waste of time that never comes true. Without some kind of plan for your life, your unplanned efforts are due to fail (or crash and burn, Proverbs 29:18).

Recognizing small triumphs in reaching the larger goal you wish to achieve in the future is the most practical method to use.  Remember, “life is a marathon; not a sprint.” Slow, steady, and correct always reaches the goal as opposed doing it wrong at the speed of light. Why do a step in your goal twice when you can do it once? With God’s help, you can plan to make this year, one of success.
