The new year will stir the hearts of many to make life changing resolutions, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Some stay away from making resolutions because of not keeping the previous commitments, while others think it’s just a waste of time. Regardless of what people think or do there’s a powerful truth connected to making a resolved heart decision.
   Without making a decision to change or deal with a particular issue in our life, more than likely we will continue to live on and do the same things. The book of James says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways and is unable to receive anything from the Lord. This describes someone who is indecisive and unable or unwilling to make a decision. This person is inhibiting God from getting involved with him. He cannot receive anything from the Lord because there’s no decision made. God needs us to make a decision of faith to attack or subdue areas of our life that has been out of control. He will help and assist us with the proper wisdom, grace and people to get us through the time of change. Go ahead and make some new year resolutions and watch God help you improve your life as you continue to walk with Him.

      This is so true! I was explaining to a friend the other day that each new year, my family writes down our vision and goals for that year. Things we want to accomplish. As it says in Prov. 29:18 People perish where there is no vision. I think this can apply at home also. Every household and person needs to have something they are looking forward to...a goal to accomplish or no one is moving forward spiritually or in any area of their life...no growth is occurring. It is so easy to become stagnant spiritually and be in the same place a year from now saying the same old things, and living in the same unconquered areas of life. Setting goals is also a good time to examine where you've been and where you and your family want to go. Then it is nice to look back at the end of the year and have the satisfaction of accomplishing a goal and helping one another to accomplish goals. My kids have been encouraged by helping the family accomplish goals together. God Bless you all and thank you Pastor for your selfless service!
