At the beginning of each year we look back at the previous year and decide that we are going to make changes in our lives.
Exercising more, losing weight, saving money, spending more time in God’s Word. There are loads of things that we might add to that list with all good intentions to succeed.
Statistics show that, around 30% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, but less than 10% successfully keep them, with around 23% giving up within the first week and 43% by the end of January. Not a great success rate!
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is found in the little book of Micah. At the end of the verse are 3 requirements from God for our lives that would make good resolutions for 2025.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
What an incredible world we would have if we all adopted those resolutions.
Act justly
Love mercy
Walking humbly with our God.
