New Year's Resolutions?

During my morning devotion today I was greeted by a reading about "resolutions." I found this funny because over the last few days of the year, repeated in television talk shows were "New Year Resolutions" whether it be of the stars or celebrities or what-have-you.

I'm not a big fan of resolutions. Such long term goals don't really appeal to me as much. After having planned my life at a young age and then see all of it go to shite when uncontrollable circumstances changed the very course of my life, I realized... what's the point?

Right now I'll just try to be a better person, resolutions aside. I have resolved to trust in the Lord for strength and sustenance. This is not something I make as a New Year's Resolution. This feels more like a daily struggle.

Maybe my resolution will be to have a daily resolution in the Lord. That sounds right. One thing I'd like to do this year though is read through the Bible with substance. You know, reading AND understand, not just reading for the sake of reading. I hope God gives me the strength and faith and open-mindedness for that.

Happy New Year to all!

New Year's Resolution

It's the New Year once again and everyone's bound to have a New Year's Resolution. Daily Bread just mentioned a few days ago that if you are in the market for a New Year's Resolution, one of which ought to be to slow life down instead of speed it up with so many goals.

If there is a worthy goal, it is to build up treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust can destroy. I agree with all my heart. Just difficult sometimes when we badly need so much to survive these days (or maintain a lifestyle). But I guess the point here would be that, we should take life easy with a primary goal of God first before everything else. That way He should help us align all the things we need to get done according to His Will.
