Today is officially the 15th day of
2019. So much has already happened. My New Year resolutions and goals are
already set. I guess your goals are all set as well. As I reflect on the past
15 days, I realize that it is easier to set goals and resolutions than to
follow through with them. I need to be intentional at pursuing my goals rest I
will fall behind on some of them. I need to continuously shape my resolutions
and ensure that they align with the Lord’s will for my life. This means that I
have to learn how to silence the noise around me and perhaps the noise that is
inside my mind.
There are so many things out there that
I should be seeking for. As I searched and sought for what is in 2019 for me,
God brought to mind Mathew 6:33 as my 2019 verse of the year. The word of the
Lord says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well” (Mathew 6:33). Seeking God’s Kingdom and
his righteousness should be my daily longing yet at times, my personal drive
seems to want to take control. Lord, I want you to be my one desire.
This year I would like to grow in my
personal walk with Jesus. I want righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Spirit to be my daily portion. I desire to let go of enslavement by my own
goals and vision. I want to conform to the image of God and follow his perfect
will.
Friends, when I do something that you do
not like, please let me know about it in a gracefully way. I promise to manage
my responses. I will continue to learn to communicate with love and listen with
grace as well. I need to access more of God’s grace and Joy on a daily basis. #Happy2019
