Many will respond to another year by making some type of resolution to change things. This will be set by what we hope for, long to see happen in our lives. Will it turn out the way we imagine or does God know what is better for us?
A Poem by an Unknown Author:
He asked for strength that he might achieve;
He was made weak that he might obey.
He asked for health that he might do greater things;
He was given infirmity that he might do better things.
He asked for riches that he might be happy;
He was given poverty that he might be wise.
He asked for power that he might have the praise of men;
He was given weakness that he might feel the need of God.
He asked for all things that he might enjoy life;
He was given life that he might enjoy all things.
He has received nothing that he asked for, all that he hoped for; his prayer is answered.
Philippians 4.13 “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.”
Can we rely more on Jesus Christ this year, being changed and growing into the person he wants us to be.
