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! |
