Resolutions

Heb 3:13

Resolutions, Resolution.  When New Years comes, we think we have to make resolutions.  While resolutions may or not be a good thing, depending on what they are, perhaps we should take time to ask the Lord to help us draw closer to Him in the coming year. 

When we draw closer to the Lord, it will give us a new perspective on life.  There is a song that has a phrase, old things are past away, new things are here to stay.  One of the new things may be wanting to find ways to help those who have a need.    Another might be to pray for others.  All of these show God’s Love is working in your life, give opportunity to encourage others.  See Heb 3:13.

So, as a New Year approaches, take time to ask the Lord to help you grow closer to Him.  Here is a simple prayer to consider:  Father, help me to grow closer to you this next year. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Reflection questions:

What happens if we do not make a resolution?

Why is it important to ask the Lord’s help?

As we draw closer to the Lord—how does that affect the work of God’s Love in our life?
