Reflection of the week

The New Year is barely under way, and already I have broken a few resolutions. It is almost to be expected. Making a fresh start is never easy for anyone. Old habits die hard, despite the best of intentions.

Clothing and belongings are culled, and useful articles set aside for the op-shop. Computer and paper files reorganised, but now is the time to get my spiritual life in order as well.

“…let us also lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely,” writes Paul to those who, like me, want to overcome anything that stands in the way of living according to God’s purpose. (Hebrews 12:1b)

Prayer

Lord, I want to turn over a new leaf, and clear my mind of all doubt, fear and uncertainty. I need more than good intentions to make it work. Guide me on the right path to a new and better way of living, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
