With a new day comes a renewed spirit, and wanting to clean up what we have dirtied; so goes the start of the new year :) It is what we do with it as the newness runs out and the year is running at full speed and we are caught in the mainstream of society. (That reminds me, School starts again on Monday). Anyways, when we make a decision to lose weight or stop smoking, we try our hardest to stick by the decision. What is my New Years Resolution ? Well...I am about 25 pounds over weight, I need a better diet, and go to the gym 7 days a week not 3 or 4 days a week. It should take about 2 months to start to see results.
How about you?
All we have to do is make up our mind to do what it is we have planned, and...remember who is the Creator, The One who will answer and make things great! Prayer is the most powerful tool we as believers have in our arsenal. Mark 11:22-24 is one of my favorites when it comes to believing when we pray; 22 Jesus answered “Have faith in God. 23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, fall into the sea.’ And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, God will do it for you. 24 So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you[1]
So if you are a believer and that weight is harder than usual to lose or you just can't break the habit of putting foreign debris in the lungs, every time you go into the convenience store you have to look the smokes over. Remember, "With God All Things are Possible".
