Dear ,
Making that annual New Year's resolution is a tradition that much of the populace has followed for centuries. New Year's resolutions can be traced back as far as 153 B.C. when Janus, the ancient symbol for resolutions, and mythical king of Rome who had two faces, could look back to reflect on the past with one face and forward to the future with the other.
Some believe that New Year's resolutions were started by the early Babylonians who began a tradition of returning farm equipment they had borrowed throughout the year.
Wherever the origin started, making New Year's resolutions has remained a custom that is still widely practiced today.
The Bible does not speak for or against the concept of New Year's resolutions. Every day is the day the Lord has made, as Psalm 118:24 states, and "we will rejoice and be glad in it." One can make a resolution or promise to oneself any day of the year, and keeping it or breaking it is in their hands. One thing the Bible does say in Ecclesiastes 5:2,4 and 5 is that if one makes promises or vows to God, it shouldn't be taken lightly.
"Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; for He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed- Better not to vow than to vow and not pay."
Setting a goal or several goals at the beginning of the new year can be stimulating, but it's the motivation to keep the resolution that is important. One can determine to pray more, read the Bible more, go to church regularly, or volunteer more, but these resolutions can fail without correct motivation. The incentive must come from within, with purpose and a plan. Even though there might be a setback at times, the best thing to do is to immediately start again.
Rather than a one-time New Year resolution, why not resolve to examine your life each week this year. Jonathan Edwards, the Puritan pastor, noted for his role in the shaping of the First Great Awakening, kept a list of self examinations that he reviewed each week. Take a look at the list, make a list of your own and endeavor this year to live a life that brings honor and glory to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Have a Joyous New Year!
Blessings,
Steve <><

Some Parting Fun...
| |
A friend announced that she had started a diet to lose some pounds she had put on recently.
"Good!" I exclaimed. "I'm ready to start a diet too. We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. When I feel the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I'll call you first."
"Great!" she replied. "I'll ride with you."
