It’s that time of year when you are reminded of things great and small that happened in 2014 – and it has been some year: entertainers awarded, sports stars diminished, same-sex marriages legalized, violence in Ukraine and the Middle East, the rise of Isis…and even a young woman from “Duck Dynasty” sharing what Jesus means to her on Dancing With The Stars. Children were born, grandparents died, families fell and relationships were healed. Was God in all of it? Oh, yes!

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

Proverbs 16:3

Now you look forward with a combination of glee and trepidation to 2015. Maybe you’ve written resolutions. For this year, as you set forth your plans, follow the admonition of Scripture and commit those ideas and goals to the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” These are promises to grasp in the New Year.

While you plan for yourself and your family, resolve as well to intercede daily and more passionately than ever before for those in authority in America. You know they need it!
