A Solution to a Broken Resolution
A Solution to a Broken Resolution
While many of us made New Year’s resolutions, chances are
good that many of us have already broken them.
So why is it that we struggle to achieve the resolutions we set for
ourselves? There are a number of reasons
but if you think about it, even our best resolutions are self-serving and total
dependent on our willpower for success. The
battle that selfishness brings to our resolve proves too powerful and we give
up. Is there any hope? Is there any solution to a broken resolution? Throughout the bible we are taught that true
change comes through repentance. Repentance is best described as a sorrowful
change that is brought about from our desire to honor the Lord. Repentance, not resolution, brings real
change in lives. If, for example, we
want to lose weight we can make a resolution to eat less, but our selfish
desire for food will always be there challenging our willpower with messages
like; “You deserve the joy that food brings”.
But when we repent, we acknowledge that over eating is harming our
bodies, the temple of the Holy Spirit. This sorrow brings about a change not
for the sake of vanity or health but to honor the Lord. This not only changes our perspective, it
gets God involved giving us supernatural results. Instead of a resolution, why not get God
involved in your life through repentance.
As you do, don’t be surprised if the words of Philippians 4:13 begin to
be realized in your victory; “I can do everything through him (Christ) who gives me strength.” (Holy Bible, New International Version)

THE END
For several years now, many have been telling us that the Mayan calendar has predicted December 21st
as the end of all things as we know them. This prediction has brought
with it a fascination that has swept through our country. Hollywood
made a movie about it, people have built doomsday shelters, and others
have accumulated food and supplies. On December 21st I will
start my day much like I do every day. I’ll spend some time with God,
see what is taking place on Facebook, read my favorite news feeds, go to
the church, and not really give the prediction much thought. I really
have no faith in the Mayan calendar prediction but I believe it is a
great opportunity to ask; “Are we ready for the end?” Not an end of the
world as predicted through a man made calendar, but an end that is
promised by an eternal Lord. Forty days after Jesus rose from the
grave he went to join God in heaven. As He was ascending the disciples
stood staring into the sky until an angle spoke to them; “… This same Jesus, … will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
(Acts 1:11 New International Version) We have a promise that Jesus
Christ will return and the end will come. We are also challenged to
always be prepared. God is not asking us to build bunkers or store food
but to prepare by giving our lives to Him. Nobody knows when, but every
day is one day closer, could it be the 21st? Absolutely! It could also be today! I’m ready, are you? ~Mike
