A new year brings new opportunities, new ways of looking at things and, perhaps, new challenges. We make resolutions, promise ourselves that this will be the year we keep them, but we all know that in a week, a month, or if we are fortunate, maybe longer, we will often fall short of our goals. We may have good intentions, convinced we have learned from past years when our expectations seemed reasonable and in reach, yet were ultimately unattainable. But there may be an explanation. Many times the reason is because we are relying mostly on our own will, determination, and strength rather than God's grace and daily help. With him, all things are possible. Entrust your New Year's resolution to the Lord and do your best—day by day.
