Here's your chance!


A kiss at the stroke of 12, a fork full of black-eyed peas for luck and prosperity, a toast with a glass of champagne, or passing the peace in a candlelit church. Resolutions will be made and adhered to for a few days, maybe. Promises will be made to jog more and eat less, to love more and argue less.
But shouldn't each stroke of midnight be a new beginning for us? We don’t have to wait 365 days to renew a right spirit within us. God’s mercies are new every morning. He has bridged the gap between our sinful nature and His Holiness and each day, each hour, each breath we decide whether to cross it and receive His forgiveness or to cower on the other side and try to resolve it ourselves.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
God has given you another opportunity. Today decide who you will follow. Celebrate new life in Him who gave up His life for you. Shine His light for the world to see and draw near with awe.
Remember we are still in the Christmas season – wise men (and women) are still seeking Him. He is our New Year’s resolution.
What resolution will you make this year?
Will you present it before God seeking His strength and guidance and forgiveness?

    AMEN! I love your devo. I think we should be constantly renewing and resolving to attempt and strive for new victories. DO HARD THINGS!!!! I do not want to be afraid to take the hard path.
    Comfort and easiness make us fat and lazy in our spiritual life. We do not tend to run to God and lean in very close when we don't feel we "need" Him. I appreciate New Year's though, because it does give pause for everyone to think about changes and goals they should tackle. So that's good. :-) Every day as the sun rises, we are given a new opportunity to take the next 24 hours and put something worthwhile of ourselves into it. Will I give honor and glory to God by what I choose to do today? I pray so.
    Thank you for your posts that honor God here, Joyce. I am sure He is pleased. hugs! :-)
