It's almost Happy New Year! This week of the year always feels like a week held up in suspension. It is the last week of the year, Christmas has past, and a new year will begin in a few days.
This is a great week for reflection over the past year's accomplishments, memories, situations and/or crisis that were walked through. Pondering the good times, identifying things looking back we may have handled differently. We may have seen choices and consequences, striving and achievements, victories or simply living each day.
While the memories are fresh in our minds, we have new year of opportunity just within our reach. The freshness of the new year calls us to ponder what could be. What are new habits we would like to see in our lives, what opportunities do we want to embrace or what can we focus on to make a difference in our realm of life.
This is a perfect time to evaluate where we are going in life and if are we on the best track. What would it take to improve? What do we need to change or redirect?
The first step begins with a plan in our mind by asking, what would we like to see develop in our life? A step of action whether a plan or a move to improve come next. What we practice daily is what becomes a habit, which becomes a part of our character.
For the Christian, our motivation is to look and act more like Christ. With an open heart and a study of God's Word, step by step we are changed into His likeness. Each day can bring the freshness of a New Year. Each time we pursue the best choice, molds our character to be like Him.
May 2022 find us looking expectantly to Jesus to fill our hearts, homes and lives with the beauty of His blessings.
God is still working on you. Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, make a list of things you believe God will do in your life if you just let Him.
