Resolve to build God’s kingdom in the new year
Once again we come to the end of one year and the beginning of another. The transition is a passage of time and time is a special invention of God. It is more like his invitation to help us prepare for eternity – where there will be no time!
This concept of time is intriguing; in so many ways we seem to take it so much for granted. For example, New Year’s Day inspires ideas and resolutions about how we will use our time in the new year. Some of us may come up with resolutions for self-improvement, thoughts about jobs and career moves and other personal tasks that we may want to accomplish. More often than not, those ideas and resolutions take on some mighty large presumptions on God’s good will for our lives.
