How to Keep Your New Year Goals and Resolutions 2024

How to Keep Your New Year Goals and Resolutions 2024?

I wonder how many of us made resolutions going into 2024? Goals we want to achieve, things that with God’s help we want to get better at? 

I don’t usually make resolutions as such but I usually enter a new year with certain things I want to achieve or improve in. Maybe you want to read your Bible more, spend more time in prayer or other things to do with your walk with God?  I certainly want to be more intentional in my walk with the Lord in 2024.

This morning I opened my Bible to these words and it made my own aims and desires seem so simple…

‘And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’

If there’s one thing that will help us in 2024 it’s a childlike trust in Jesus. 

We can strive and battle to improve in certain areas or we can simply look to Jesus as we begin and throughout each day, to help us. 

Yes there will be the need for self denial and self discipline, things that our old nature pushes hard against! But both you and I ‘can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me’, even things that our flesh hates.

It’s only through a childlike faith in Jesus that we’ll truly be able to intentionally follow Jesus and keep those resolutions this year. 

So let’s go forward Friends by God’s grace trusting Jesus to lead and help us.

With Love

Matt 18:2-4, Phil 4:13
