Resolutions

New Year - New You???

It's the third week of January already, did you make a New Years resolution yet? I stoped making resolutions a couple of years ago. I realized that all I was doing was resolving to do something in my own power and I generally failed after a period of time. In January of 2015 I read an email from an inspirational Christian leader about Naming My Year. This was more than a resolution this was about setting a goal through prayer and seeking Gods direction for my year, biblically backing that goal and claiming it in Christ name!

This year I am focusing on Confidence Through Christ, there are so many great bible verses about getting our confidence through Him. These are the two verses I am focusing on:  “For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.” Proverbs 3:26 NKJV and “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.”

Hebrews 10:35 NKJV

This is my third year resolving not to do something in my own power! Would you give it a try? What could your year look like if you sought Gods direction, used His word to guide you and focus you toward that goal and claimed your achieving it through Christ power not your own? 

If I have learned anything it's that my greatest achievements were the ones that I handed over fully to the Lord...
