2016 We made it. Ok, some of us may be saying that or others may say Holy Crap where did
2015 go? I am in the latter group, don’t get me wrong I am happy to make it to a new year and
all. But seriously, where did the time go? Where did my time with my girls run to? Why did I
not spend more time reading the Bible and spending more time with God in prayer? Epic Fail
for me. :-(
Let me ask a question that annoys the living daylights out of me. What New Year’s
resolutions did you set for this year? Why did I ask it if it annoys me you ask? I think it is the
fact that people expect everyone to have these super lofty resolutions. Well, I personally never
make mine then I get discouraged and give up. What is the point, I want to lose weight,
exercise more, be more organized……… These have all been mine at some time. But really
where do we see Jesus in these. Of course, He wants us to be healthier and smarter and more
time conscientious, but what He really wants is us. I am not saying we cannot do those things
but we need to be doing more for His cause as well. How can we further His kingdom? I know I
can do more. I can witness more and not be shy. Who cares what people think, I am sure they
would rather hear it now than be burning in hell later thinking why did she not take the time to
tell me. We are a generation so focused on ourselves and how others perceive us that we have
lost sight of what God desires. So many times we think oh someone else will tell them, or
someone else will do it. Really, I am over that mind set. I am ready to be used in whatever way
He sees fit.
So what am I saying in all my rambling, I am saying look at the verse Phil 4:13 I can do all
things thru Christ who strengthens me. And Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said
with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible. God said it we are not alone He
has our back. I have been teaching the kiddos this in children’s church. God will help us. He is
waiting to. This is where we have to think about things in the NEW YEAR, but more importantly
I am asking you to think about it for the rest of your life. Instead of New Year’s Resolutions or
Goals, let’s make them life goals for Christ. What can you do for Him from here on out? What
is He asking of you? Maybe it is to support your local church, participate in activities your
church has, get to know people in your church better or all of the above. LET’S SET OUR GOALS
for Life around JESUS. Let’s implement the song “Do Something” by Matthew West.
