New Years Resolution?


Did you make a new years resolution this year? What was it about? Did you make one to strengthen or start a relationship with God? If so, that's GREAT!!!

But I must say, I am not a fan of "new years resolutions". I believe people do not need to wait 365 days, 52 weeks before they decide to make a lifestyle change.

In order to accomplish any plan set you have to set short term and long term goals and be diligent in executing each goal. This is your "road map".  A plan without action is a failing plan. You must plan to succeed. 

It's not enough to say "I am going to read the entire bible in one year" for example. You must outline realistic expectations such as how many chapters a day will you read and for how long? What will you do it if you get off track, how will you make up the chapters if you did not read? This goal requires a plan in which you must articulate and be detailed to ensure success on executing this particular goal.

Any goal that you have in mind can be achieved by implementing the steps listed above. 

Proverbs 14: 8 (KJV) 
" The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit". 

James 4:17 (KJV) 
"To them that noeth to do good , and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV) 
"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
