From the Pastor’s Desk
The older we get, the fewer New Year’s resolutions do we make. One might ask the question: Why? Why do older people make fewer resolutions than do younger people. The answer is simple. Age brings us to the realization that a simple one-time desire to change does not always cause our behavior to change. The thought of change is nice but change takes time and endurance and most of all it takes “willpower”. What I am
going to suggest to you today is to turn your will over to the One who not only made you but who can also change you. Philippians 4:13 tells us that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. And, John 15:5 tells us that “apart from Me you can do nothing”. Our Maker made us and our Maker knows how to change us. The Word of God, our Bible, is full of helpful verses that if we would simply apply, could and would
change not only a behavior but our very life. Today, in our New Year’s message, let us take our mindset off of willpower and turn to a power much greater than ourselves. Let us make “Maker changes” rather than self-changes. Our Maker knows our problems and He knows how to help change us.
