Song: Hide the Word by Commissioned
As we race towards the end of 2017, with our arms open to 2018, most people make resolutions. Commonly known as a New Year’s Resolution. It’s probably some behavior we think will improve our way of life or simply make us better people.
So we finally decide to join that gym we pass on the way to work everyday. Or we’ve watched enough television to decide that chicken with Polynesian sauce is not quite the best choice for Breakfast, lunch and dinner…(I probably just outed myself, but that sauce makes Everything better😋). Whatever it is….for normal folks, that resolution may last till March. If you’re super serious about it, you might make it to summer…And, if you are blessed and highly favored, it becomes part of the rest of your life.
I’ll admit, I’m guilty of resolution making and making a pot of black eye peas for luck, even though I don’t truly believe in luck. But I’ve decided to change things up a bit. While most people are gonna get kissed at midnight, or finishing off that bottle of champagne or apple cider, I’m going to be preparing myself for my next surgery on the 2nd.
I Am Completely Over All of It.
For 2018 I’ve decided to make spiritual resolutions. I no longer want to bend and twist like a dandelion caught in high winds with every bit of bad news about my health. I no longer want to find comfort in sherbet, chips, crackers and chicken….ok, I do want to, but I’m getting chunkier than a chocolate chip cookie.., starting to look like an Oreo over here😜.
So I’m going to gird myself up with scriptures that will fortify and comfort me:
Proverbs 11:27; Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches.
Psalms 46:1; God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
There are so many more, but a couple a day should keep me busy until:
Psalms 119:11; I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
