Is anything too hard for the Lord? Genesis
18:14
January
1. A brand-new year. It’s the time of year we start thinking about making
changes. This year, rather than writing a quick list of resolutions that we’ll
likely forget before February, maybe we should take a different approach. This
is a good time for each of us to ask ourselves, What do I want to be
different this year?
Sit with
that for ten minutes. Let your heart surface and then ... take it to Jesus in
prayer. Lord, come into this. Show me the way. I will often ask God
for his “theme” over my new year: Jesus, what is the theme of this year?
I do this
every January, and it has proven a mighty rescue many times over. Usually,
Jesus says one simple thing. One year I heard, “Love.” All through the year, I
found myself needing to return to the simple truth of love. Another year it
was, “Restoration,” and that was the year I took a short sabbatical and sought
needed restoration.

Ask Jesus, What is the theme of this year, Lord? And when he speaks, write it
down! Post it somewhere you will see it often. In very big letters.
