This new year presents us with another opportunity to begin a new. There’s a natural desire to improve yourself and your life with a new year. There’re many ways we can all grow and change to improve ourselves. One of the best ways would be to gain wisdom in the new year. Paul gave some interesting insight into his perspective of life as a Christian considering his past in light of him obtaining the resurrection from the dead.
"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:12-14 (ESV).
Let’s join together this Sunday to consider how we can grow in our faith and in wisdom as we live our lives for God.
