We are four days into the new year-2011. Some people want to stop a bad habit. Some people want to start a new good habit. These are called New Year's Resolutions, New Year's changes. Many people still follow the promises, (goals) (resolutions) to change their lives. Some people will succeed and finish their resolutions in a good way. Some people will give up and fail.
What is the difference? All people who set new goals will mess up. This is because no people are perfect. The difference between people who succeed and those who fail is not power. The difference is not that very smart people can succeed and others will fail. The difference is not that some people find change in life easy and other people find change in life hard. What is the difference?
The difference is simple. The difference is when we fail in our new goals, some people give up too soon. "Oh well, I tried, but now I quit. Finish. Done." or "I will not try to change anymore because I messed up. Too bad for me." Other people will say, "Okay, today, I did mess up, but tomorrow, I will try again." "Tomorrow is a new start--again."
Both kinds of people messed up the promise to themselves. One kind of people will then sit down and not try again. The other kind of people will stand up and start again tomorrow. The first group of people will not finish the New Year's Resolution. They will wait until next year and try again. The second group of people know that EVERY day is a new beginning. Every day, we can ask God to help us change. God wants us to be part of the second group.
January 4, 2011 is still a new day. Today is "try again" day. Ask God for help. God wants to help us change.
Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to Him. Romans 2:12 Contemporary English Version
