A New Year for God or Another Year for Me?

The answer to starting off 2012 better than any other year would be twofold. First, 1 Corinthians 10:31 states, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” So, the reality should not be that we are seeking to write more resolutions in order to accomplish something great. Our first and foremost goal should be single-mindedly to do ALL to the glory of God! If my first focus is on what I can accomplish with my own resolutions, then I will miss what should be the main focus of every true believer.

This will take the guilt off of my life when I fail so miserably, as I am sure I would do. However, if my focus becomes more of God and less of me, my strength will be found solely in Him. I will then be able to say with Paul, whether in life or in death, I am the Lord’s. When I seek to become more focused on God, then my life will soon reflect what God has in store for me. He will direct my paths when I seek to acknowledge Him in all of my ways (Prov. 3:5-6).
