New Year’s Day is like a reset button for most of us. It’s a chance to start again–fresh and focused!
While you are planning to start at 1 and do “life” differently this year, consider equipping yourself with these three timeless truths from the Bible, sure to keep the happy in your year long after it loses its new.
Monitor your progress by comparing yourself to your past and not to others.
“Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else.” (Galatians 6:4).
Positive change occurs best with slow, steady progress.
“A bonanza at the beginning is no guarantee of blessing at the end.” (Proverbs 20:21, MSG)
Sometimes we need to wait to sense God’s presence and help.
“Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master’s Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work.” (James 5:7, MSG)
