2011 begins a new year, 2010 is now history. A time for new resolutions for many. But for most it will be just another year with 2011 added to the date to replace 2010. Many will continue to just past time without a plan, direction, goal or purpose and come 12-31-11 will wonder how the year went by so fast. For many who made their 2010 new years resolution it is now a faded memory. So today while there is time let me suggest several things that can make a real difference in your life and impact those around you.
Commit to getting up earlier and reading at least 2 chapters a day in the Bible starting in Matthew. Spend time in prayer each day asking God for wisdom to understand and apply the truth from His word throughout the day, ask God to work in your life so that He will bless others through you. Make it your goal each day to be used by God to impact at least one person for His glory. Each day let your purpose be to please God and bring honor to Him through Christ Jesus.
Compare everything to the Word of God and remember that if it is what popular culture rather than what God says it is but darkness. Avoid taking personal offense when scripture is the bases for a position that is contrary to what you have been taught in the government run schools. Any thought or position we have that is not based on the Bible is about as useful as glass walls and roof on a house.
Remember it is not about you or me but about God who loved us so much He sent His son to die for our sins. His purpose for our life is for us to obey Him and be a channel of True Blessing to those we come into contact. Few will accept you or your biblical positions but you are not called to be popular but to be salt & light to those who walk in darkness. Remember darkness is an absence of Light and salt when applied is not always welcome. Don't look for an easy path but the straight one luminated by God Himself and 2011 will be your most Blessed year yet.
May God grant you wisdom and boldness as you seek His purpose for your life in 2011.
