new year's resolutions
I don't make 'em. Simply because I can't promise to stick to a plan and never waver.
Dictionary.com defines resolution this way:
1. The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination.
2. A resolving to do something.
3. A course of action determined or decided on.
If I'm relying on God to direct my paths, I can't decide something with "firm determination" because if it is not the Lord's will for my life, then I am going against God's plan for me.
I did, however, find a good New Year's verse in my devotional this morning. Phil. 3:13-14 says: "...forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
I think that's the only "resolution" I will make! God help me!
