Have a Blessed New Year

Welcome to 2025! As soon as you get used to writing 2024 ... 2025 is here! Let's talk about the New Year for a moment. The New Year is a time when most people evaluate the previous year and set goals for the year ahead, but rest easy ... Making a New Year's resolution is not a New Testament obligation. The Lord doesn't require it of us. But there can be an abundance of good in it.

First, don't forget the root of the word 'resolution' is 'resolve'. Actually, TRUTH be told, as Christians, we are to resolve things ... Brace yourself ... DAILY! Did I say daily? Well, I didn't say it, the Word of God does ...

Perhaps instead of following worldly tradition and reserving a single day each year to resolve to improve ourselves, we should rather implement the concept that Jesus introduced and start fresh every single day with a renewed mind, resolved to walk closer to Him. Every time we recognize the need for betterment, initiate it at that very moment, with fervor! So, is it wrong to make New Year's resolutions? Certainly resolving something cannot be wrong.

Most often, as Christians, our goals are fairly easy to predict. Most Christians have a heartfelt desire to serve the Lord better, establish a better relationship with Him, and become more conformed to His image. All are most admirable desires. And most have resolved these things before, if not once, several times. So what is it that keeps one from attaining (and retaining and maintaining) these goals? Wouldn't you love to look back on 2025 at the end of December, knowing in your heart that your Spiritual growth has improved, throw your shoulders back, stick out your bird cage and chortle that you've reached your goals?!

It may be suggested that the 'resolve' is the part of the 'resolution' that we lack in attaining these oh so fulfilling fruits of the Spirit. Resolve. What does that word mean to you? Passion? Love? Determination? What exactly will it take to keep you motivated to strive just as hard in August as you did in January? My friend, the only thing that will keep you uplifted, encouraged, enthusiastic, and steadfast in your endeavors to mature in your Christian walk, is a DAILY renewing of your mind. Wow ... There's that imposing word again.

You must be earnest about it! Prayer and a perpetual intimate closeness with the Holy Spirit are essential. When the going gets tough, reach out for Him. Yes, it is needed DAILY! If you find yourself veering from your goals, hold on tighter to His hand and ask Him to guide you back onto the path of righteousness. Surround yourself with things that remind you of your new goals. Write them down (so important). Don't let your yearning for living in His image ever get lukewarm. Every single day is a new beginning!

Focus on being positive. When things happen that threaten to hinder your resolve ... It isn't the end of your resolution, it's a new beginning, an opportunity to renew your mind, at any instant, any moment, any day, any week, any month, any year. What a gracious Father we have who is so merciful that for the sincere asking, we may begin afresh whenever life goes awry. He sacrificed His Son to give us this gift. Thank you Jesus.

When you are contemplating about the 'inventory' on your resolution list, be sure not to just give up candy, but more importantly, the enemy's candy. There is so much happiness in store for you when you daily renew your mind and are confident that through Christ who strengthens you, you can do anything.

Don't let tradition limit you to waiting for a specific day to begin living in the Spirit. On behalf of Christianity Oasis, may the Fire of the Holy Ghost roar inside of you this coming year, and forevermore! God bless.
