For many individuals, the natural tendency at the start of each New Year is to make promises to change certain things about one’s life.  How about you … Have you made any resolutions for 2013?

 If you did, it would benefit you to remember that “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s Purpose that prevails.”   (Proverbs 19:21).

Christians in particular must remember that your right to make unilateral decisions about your future is no longer optional.  “You were bought with a price,”  and, therefore, “Your life is no longer your own …”   (1 Corinthians 6:20).

But fret not.  This is actually great news as God, our Heavenly Father, wants to inspire and direct your endeavors throughout 2013.  Why?  Because He knows His plans for you:  “...Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”   (Jeremiah 29:11).

 So, if you want to live your best life in 2013, submit yourself to God’s plan!
