Well, we’re three days into the New Year and maybe we’ve even made some resolutions. Some have strong willpower and iron-clad constitutions, and can stick to whatever it is you’ve promised. However, if anyone is like me, it’s been a very long time since we’ve uttered a word about a “resolution” – because it’s a set-up for failure!
As believers, we understand that everything we do, every
decision we make is directly connected to our spiritual walk with God.
Therefore it is unwise to think we can compartmentalize our activities into
categories: “What I don’t need God for” and “What I need God for”; because
that’s the ultimate set-up for failure.
What works is having a daily goal to grow more and more in
love with the Creator of all things – to seek to do His will, even when we
don’t “feel” like “wanting” to. Praying for the very desire to obey and trust
God with and in everything activates His power to move on it in our lives. The transformation begins to take place and
our hearts are turned toward the Lord more and more.
The Word of God says, “The steadfast love
of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every
morning; great
is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)
We can resolve to go deeper in our relationship with Christ.
It’s not a “New Year’s Resolution” – but a daily re-consecration, and it’s
moment by moment. With love so rich,
reserved for us, and new mercies extended to us with each day we’re blessed to
see, why would we hesitate to say “yes” to His will?
Couples committed to the same eternal goal will be
victorious. It is the best “buddy system” possible, because it’s rooted and
grounded in the partnership we have with God. It is the desire of Boaz Ministries to “keep
it moving” in Jesus’ name. Nothing is fiercer than being in lock-step spiritually
with the love of your life and the Lover of your soul!
