Instead of making New Year's resolutions this year (that we typically do not keep), let me challenge you to make a renewed commitment to simply obey the counsel found in the Bible.

We can plan, prepare, and reminisce, but the greatest challenge is for each of us to live one day at a time. We all can read, study, and meditate on the Word (Psalm 1), but we must move to the next obvious step of obeying and applying God’s truth to our lives.
