Well, I confessed in my sermon today that, like many others, I have yet again made some New Year's Resolutions. Two to be exact. One to get into better physical shape and the other to get into better spiritual shape. I commented that this will require discipline and accountability in both endeavors.
By proclaiming my intentions, I expect there will be some who ask me about my progress from time to time. In fact, I hope some do. Not just about my desire to lose some weight and get into better shape, but also in the area of my spiritual discipline. Ultimately, I may see some results from these decisions, but others will benefit as well. That makes it all worthwhile.
Where are those places where you could use a little more discipline or accountability? Do you struggle with these sames issues? What about your time with your family? The way you handle your finances? Dealing with work situations and those you work with? Is there any area in your life that could use more discipline? More accountability?
Regardless of whether you have made a resolution or not, I want to challenge you to prayerfully seek out an area (or more than one) where you could improve your life. I want you to form some discipline around that issue and find someone who will help hold you accountable to your goals. The fact is, together we can make important changes, that, in the end, can have a real impact on the lives of those around us.
See you out there!
