If you are a representative sample then 45% of you made a new years resolution and 88% of those resolutions failed despite your confident and good intentions on January 1st. One of the keys to success with resolutions, so they say, is to make sure to pick ONE and make it one that is realistic and small. They also suggest not beating yourself up too much over it and that you can always set a date to start over. So if you are one of those whose resolution has already failed, you might try again Monday morning. Better yet, I’m going to suggest a resolution to consider making in light of God’s resolution to make all things new. We see His resolve in action in Exodus 14.
Other passages mentioned for easy reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Deuteronomy 30:6, and Ezekiel 11:19-20.
