Charles Lamb said "New Year's Day is every man's birthday."
We're just a few of weeks away from changing the calendar, so we've all got a birthday coming up. We'll all have a chance to reflect a little bit on the past 365 days and, hopefully, focus a lot on the next 365 days. If we choose, we can wipe slate clean from the past and begin a new day.
There's nothing special about January 1, of course, but there is something special about the decision to break away from old habits and develop new ones. It can be done any day -- January 1 is as good a day as any. The important thing is to devote oneself to doing better and trying harder.
It was said of Hezekiah: "In everything he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered." (2 Chronicles 31:21)
My resolutions for 2009 are centered in this verse. I want to seek God more and to serve him better.

Finding the Christian Life Center.... and finding the redemptive uplifting power of Jesus Christ again after years of stubbornly chasing false hopes .... has brought me back to life and happiness.
Seeking God through the Bible and prayer has had such a calming, satisfying effect.
I just pray I can keep climbing the ladder.
