One of my favorite Bible passages that deals with making plans for the future is “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:15) As we make our New Year’s resolutions, let us do so with the attitude that they may reach fruition, or they may have much different results than we expected, or they may take us a direction in life we never intended when we made them. May our resolutions reveal a person whose main focus in life is the Lord and his guiding hand.
