Happy New Year

A Call For Commitment

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Today’s Thoughts and Insights

A New Year brings, on some level a new beginning, in our minds.

And with this new beginning is usually found an array of resolutions to do this or that or to somehow improve or better one’s self in some way.

May this opportunity not be missed for us to also make a fresh commitment to God to seek Him more this year; to love Him more deeply; to serve Him with greater passion and dedication; and to surrender our self more completely to His will and His plans for us.

God has been, is and always will be faithful to us – may we commit to being more faithful to Him in 2012 than we ever have before.

Today’s Prayer

My Father, which is in Heaven, you are amazing, wonderful and worthy of my praise.  May this year find me more committed, more yielded and more available to you; so that I can be more pleasing and bring more glory to your name.

“God does not ask about our ability or our inability,

 but about our availability.”
