Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

For those of us who make New Year's resolutions, we have already started thinking about the list. In the past, I've had resolutions like-- eat more nutritionally, exercise regularly, commit to a daily Bible study, and forgive(ness) issues.

It has been said that we can not live effectively today unless we know what to do with our yesterdays. And if past behavior is a predictor of future behavior, we are not going to live very effectively tomorrow either unless we take care of those yesterdays.

We each have a unique life story that belongs only to us.

Get out your photo albums and compare....
Or, recall some things that don't fit in photo albums..
And you will know that, yes, your story is yours alone.

I believe that everything we have been entrusted with has meaning.
The difficult part is figuring out the meaning and, then, what
to do with it.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Thinking about your past, thinking about your future, and thinking about the LORD'S plans for you--not to harm you, to give you hope and a future--I believe that New Year's Resolution you make will become a reality.
