Resolutions

Another year has rolled in and it's almost 1month down, 11 to go! By the way, Happy New Year y'all. This is my first blog for 2006, phew! I apologize to readers who have wondered when "fresh manna" will be released and promise an inflow of blogs to make up.

Every New year begins with the usual hoopla of Resolutions. From losing weight to quitting smoking....from decisions of commitment (to different things) to planning to achieve plenty. Every sane person commits himself to goals and aspirations for the 12months ahead. Making Resolutions are not in any way bad, nor unspiritual.

It's about setting sight on goals that you want to achieve with God's help and working your way to actualize them. And if "you commit your ways unto the Lord, he shall establish your paths". So let's go into the year, making God our fuel for life, his spirit our help and guide and his work our focus.

Set goals that borders around your ministry, your career, your family, your habits, your relationships and lots more. Write them down and commit to work at it. Pray God for enablement to follow through and not back off, trusting that his faithfulness avails all year round. Be Resolute about issues that concern you, but remember that it'll only work out when you first lay them down at the Lord's alter.

Check them against his fire of approval (yes, it's best if your desires are his' for you). Then get into the year ready to explode, the greater one by your side. All the best for 2006.
