It’s a new year, and I’ve been thinking about how a new year brings opportunities for new beginnings. Now, I’m not really big on making resolutions…mostly because I never seem to keep them past a few days. But, isn’t it nice to have a do-over point?

Think about it. I bet you did like me and didn’t start that new diet until after the new year. I bet you didn’t start exercising until after the new year either. The point is, Jan. 1st is a do-over day. That is the day when all the year’s failures are forgotten and a new beginning starts.

It’s that way with Jesus, too. The day we give our life to Him is the do-over day for us spiritually. All of life’s failures and mistakes are forgotten and we get a new beginning. And isn’t it nice to know that we can let go of those past mistakes and focus on living for him today? I think so. In fact, maybe that should be our “everyday resolution”…to live our life for Jesus as if this is the first day of the rest of our life!
