As I've been thinking all day about how 2012 might be different, better, happier, healthier; how I might accomplish more, stress less, and worry less than I did in 2011. Then I read this a few minutes ago and it hit me so I wanted to share it with my loved ones.
“But make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God.” (Romans 13:11 MSG)
We manage time; we waste time. We spend time; we save time. We wish the time would come; we wish the time would pass. We see time fly; we feel time drag. We watch clocks and carry calendars, creating the illusion that we somehow control time, yet all the while moments flow forward like a mighty river that cannot be stopped, harnessed, or re-routed.
Yet, God controls time. He created time and we, his creations, are fenced by his time, directed and guided by his holy and loving hand. The year 2012 is a gift of time from God.
How will you use it?
What do you think God wants you to do with the 365 days of this next year?
For me personally, I think God wants me to spend more time with Him. My one and only resolution then, is to spend more time with God. With Him all things are possible and I want to forget about all the things I can't control and trust in Him that 2012 will be a very good year for me and my family and friends.
Happy New Year!
