We begin every year with new slate of fresh commitments. We make commitments to be a nicer person, to lose weight, to stop smoking, to heal a broken relationship, to go visit a friend, to get back in church…the list goes on and on. Well, it is now September; soon it will be fall. How many of your New Year’s resolutions have you kept?
We had such great aspirations when we started listing out those resolutions, but for whatever reason, they never became anything more than just talk.
The Bible says in Proverbs 14:23, “In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.”
I encourage you today to not just talk about what you want to do…go do it. Get back in church. Go back to school. Put down the cigarette. Get on the treadmill. Just do it, and you will begin to win again.
