Resolutions...

Num 30:2 If a man vows a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break {and} profane his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

It's a new year and everyone is ready to make new decisions and choices. Which lasts for about 5 days.... most of the time.


It is ME, out of MY desire to be better... who decides to vow or make an oath or make a resolution. So when I don't keep my word, I am responsible for the consequences.

Sounds kinda scary. But let's make sure we don't impose upon ourselves resolutions that tie us down and we become people who live according to the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. A resolution broken at the cost of a life. Or a resolution made that will cost my life ? What is it worth?

Keep your priorities right. It's God Who trains our hands for battle. Remember that without Him, nothing is possible. With Him, nothing is impossible. So focus on Jesus, and it's all worth it.

Make Him your priority and your relationship with Him your focus and everything else falls into place.

Even at work. Especially at WORK.
