This is the time of the year some of us make our New Year’s Resolutions. A resolution defined by Merriam-Webster is:

 

A firm decision to do or not to do something. The action of solving a problem, dispute, or contentious matter.

 

I don’t make New Year Resolutions anymore because most likely, I will fail. I have tried a million and one times to change me. My intent is always good, but by month two or during the year, I return to my old way of doing things. I don’t like riding the rollercoaster of failure, disappointment, then condemnation; nope not anymore. So, I don’t rely on me; I turn to the FAITHFUL Lord within me and I ask Him, “Is there anything You want to change in me, so do it, my Lord?” When Jesus changes me, it is forever! I have learned over the years the natural man is not dependable, but the spiritual man is. The spiritual man and my soul are ONE. They live in Union with Jesus the Christ and fulfill the will of my Father.

 

Even though I fail in my Resolution attempts, I know someone who has never failed. Jesus made His Resolutions to us over 2000 years ago. His Resolutions remain unchanged from year to year. Because He cannot lie, His words to us are ALWAYS FAITHFUL AND TRUE. He has sealed His promises to us with His Blood and His Promise to our Father when He said, “IT IS FINISHED!” Let’s look at just a few of His Resolutions to us:
