SABRINA

Happy first week of 2016!

Did you make a New
Year’s resolution this
year?  If you did,
have you already
broken it?  And if so,
what has been your
response?  More
often than not,
instead of picking up
our resolution the
following day, we
drop the whole idea
and revert to our old
ways.  It seems the
firmness of our initial
decision to make a
change for the better
wilts under the
burden of
discouragement, guilt,
and missed
opportunity.

How can we maintain a strength of purpose
even when, in our
eyes, we fail
miserably to do what
we said we would do?

Know this about
God’s grace both in your broken resolutions and in your life – His strength
gives power to the
weak, the truth of His
word is a light to your
path, His presence by
His Spirit will never
leave you, and His
love for you in Jesus
will never end.

The challenge each
day is to remember
that.  Then, let what
we do each day be a
faithful response to
what God is doing in
us.
