The beginning of a new year is a popular marker for people to stop, evaluate their lives, and resolve to do better in the new year. Resolutions are made about diet, exercise, spending, family relationships, and work habits. All too often, within days of making a resolution, it has already been broken and the new year ends up a repeat of the previous year. Why not begin the new year by involving the Lord in the process? He has a dream for your life, and by involving Him in the equation, you will be closer to fulfilling that dream. The Lord told the prophet Jeremiah: “Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3 ). He told David: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8). If we will call to Him asking what He wants for the new year, He will show you and guide you. Try this. Sit down with your Bible and a notepad, and ask the Lord to reveal to you what He would like for you to work on during the new year. Write down what comes into your mind. Write down any Scriptures He gives you. Ask Him to show you specifics to work on and who else should be included. Then share with a spiritual accountability partner what you believe the Lord wants you to do. You will be surprised at how He will lead you if you will take the time to ask and listen!!
