At the beginning of a new year, many people decide to do something different. They try to make a change in their life by making a ‘resolution’ – a promise to themselves to better their life in the New Year. They may intend to begin an exercise program, change their diet, read a book or take on a new hobby.
Here is a good promise to ask for. From Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast or right spirit within me.”
Allow God to make you a better person this year. Ask Him to give you a new heart with which to worship and share His love. Ask for a new attitude about how to live in righteousness and holiness.
Start the New Year of right – let God direct you and guide you this New Year!
