“And those He predestined He also called, those He called He also justified, those He justified He also glorified. “What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?… “Romans 8:30-32
The other day I found myself doing something I had long thought was in the past, and got to wondering.How many times have you started something and never finished it? (Unfortunately I'm famous for that one.) How many times have you lost weight and re-gained it? Lost a bad habit and found it again? Made a resolution and broke it?
Yet, somehow every New Year we make fresh resolutions, only to get a few days into the year, and there are the resolutions – in pieces! But, there is fresh hope, isn't there? We have to believe that somehow we will get a will-power make-over. Fresh resolve rises up in us again and we give that thing a new try and we believe that THIS time we will make it.
Good! That's exactly the attitude God takes when He looks at us and our best efforts. He's always up to giving us a make-over. If we have failed every single day of our lives He still has all the faith in the world in us to be successful, no matter if it is the same old New Year resolution, or any other day. He cheers us on and pours out grace in abundance to help us over any hard bumps.
If you started the year(and every day since) on struggling to give up something, - cigarettes, alcohol, technology - think of it from God's viewpoint. You aren't in it alone. You have your own personal cheering section and you will get VIP treatment. "This I know, that God is for me." (Psalm 56:9) Knowing that God is for you can carry you a long way in achieving success. Having someone who believes in you a hundred percent gives you a head start on really making it.
Past failures getting you down? Wondering if you should throw in the towel? Or, dig in your heels, hang on to God, and finally beat the problem?
Take the second option. Don't you know that you plus God are a majority? Begin again!
