There is just something about the New Year that gets us all excited. For some reason, as the clock ticks the dial past 12 midnight and we turn over the calendar year, it helps us realise one of the universes most basic, yet profound truths...... there are always opportunities to start over. Scripture supports this theory. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
When we embrace opportunities to start over they come with a responsibility. This responsibility is to do a little planning. We need to learn from the mistakes of the past and make the changes necessary to put our life path on a different trajectory.
One of my New Year traditions is to not set resolutions, but set goals. Goals help focus our actions so that we can make the decisions necessary to ensure those goals come about. I know life is tough and we will suffer set backs to our goals from time to time, but if we remain focused and the goal is in line with God's plan for our lives......we will eventually succeed!
