New beginnings, same finish
James 4:13-15
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
All of us have been tempted to make some type of New Year’s resolution, or New Me Promises. I myself have been trying to think of new ways I can better my daily struggles by organizing or managing my time better. But what I failed to realize is Today’s outcome doesn’t change because the year changed. Whether or not I start today or tomorrow will change the outcome on how more organized I am. The same goes for all of our Resolutions or New Me challenges. If we aren’t starting now, or yesterday, your today stays yesterday’s struggle. Goals are great, but if it’s constantly outmanned by the use of do it later, none of your shiny new changes will ever take off. This week I challenge you, to start yesterday with your new self. But whilst changing you, remember God is waiting in the same place you left him. He doesn’t change, but is rooting for you to become yesterday’s resolution.
