A New Year!

Week 31, year 2! (Sunday-Shabbat)

What is the over-riding message we are taking into this new calendar year? Traditionally, people make new year’s resolutions. The proverbial list goes on: lose weight, get finances in order, clean the garage, etc., etc. After a few weeks – or days – all our visions of change begin to fade, and we slip back into our old ways … until the next year when we once again make resolutions.

By following God’s calendar, we are not left on our own to fail, yet again. Every few months the Lord gives us opportunities to reflect and prepare ourselves spiritually for His upcoming holy day – for meeting with Him on His mo’ed (His appointed day).

Let us each take this opportunity to ponder what changes the Lord would have us each to make. And then let’s commit our ways, these changes, to Him. By relying on Him we CAN overcome these bad habits. Each time I am faced with temptation, I remember what my pastor said “What do I want more: the temptation or God & His ways?” Yes, there are distractions everyday but I work on focusing on “Do I REALLY want to walk in His fullness or am I going to settle for compromise.”

First Corinthians teaches that “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it,” ICor 10:13. (Hallelujah! My temptations are common to man – they are not just my own, personal issues/trials. He will not let me be tempted beyond what He knows I am able to overcome – with His help. We will be able to endure and come out winners. Hallelujah!)

“Mighty God, Our King! Thank You for Your divine love and direction. We love You!! Thank You for Your intervention in our lives! Help each of us to fulfill the call You have our on our lives. Lord, we help us to surrender the areas You are leading us to change. We want to walk in Your fullness – in Your precepts. We love You! Touch each of these situations. Heal our land; heal our families; heal Israel; heal our soldier; heal our finances. Bring our families to a fullness of You. Be with our grandchildren – protect them. Thank You for caring so much for us that You gave Yourself that we might know You. Help us to give ourselves to You. Holy Father, we bless You in Your most sacred Name.”
