Happy New Year!! We are now in a new year and new decade with new opportunities. This morning I ask myself, as well as you the reader, what is your focus for this new year and new decade?
This time of year people are making new year resolutions, and sadly, many of those are thrown in the trash within the month. We can all take a personal inventory of our lives and see changes that we need to make. And I believe the reason many new year resolutions end up one more personal failure is that we try to bite off more than we can chew. I believe change is more in the details of life than the big decisions. We can choose to lose weight for instance, but losing weight doesn’t happen in one big swath, although we all wish it did. As a trainer once said, “It is not what you do in the gym for that hour a day, although important, that will turn your life around, it is as important or more important what you do the other 23 hours of the day such as eat right, get plenty of rest, etc.” We tend to focus on the wrong things and wonder why we don’t get right results. Just like a person whose prime focus is in being in the gym everyday but not getting plenty of sleep and eating junk food all the time. They won’t get the results they desire, and if they do it will be at a much slower pace.
So as we begin this new year let’s make our focus Jesus, and put Him in the details of our lives so that we obtain the results we want beginning spiritual and letting that permeate into the rest of our lives.
Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
