New Year Resolution - to get closer to God

1/2/2022

Yesterday the world was interested in New Year’s Resolutions. Did you make any? It is the “in” thing to do. However, the thought came to me that we, as humans, focus on the wrong thing. Most resolutions deal with weight (lose or gain), money (earn more/spend less), love, or jobs. How many do you make that deal with God?

Improving our relationship with God should always have the highest priority in our lives. God wants to be our #1 in all areas of our lives not only on a daily basis, He wants to be #1 on a continual basis. How do we do this, lets look at 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22.

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Precious Heavenly Father, thank you for seeing us through last year. 2021, was hard on so many of your children and I thank you for being faithful and bringing them safe through all the trials they have faced. Some You have called home, because the time here with us has been rewarded by them being in our presence.

Dearest Heavenly Father, thank you for a new year for us that remail so that we may learn more about You, Your Son, and the Holy Ghost. Show us the paths that we need to walk so that we can make it to Heaven. Amen.
