Welcome to 2007

So here we are in the New Year. Welcome to 2007. The typical blogger I am sure, will post something to the effect of setting goals, New Years resolutions, holding to promises, following up and following through, firming up the round edges... Alas, there is a temptation for me to do the same, BUT I will refrain from doing so. This is for the reason that, I realize I am going to still be slightly husky by the end of this year (I know husky is a nice way of saying fat, but work with me). No, not because I plan on a diet of Snickers and Salt & Vinegar chips, but because my toes barely make it through 30" of length on my pants.

So try this instead. Talk to God. And now you are thinking, "brilliant, thanks for sharing." Simplistic yes, simple no (cause then I would be simple and husky and that is too hard to deal with). I am encouraging you to ask Him what 2007 should hold for you. What His resolutions are for you this year.

Zephaniah 3:17 says "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

He is mighty to save. There is no force or evil or power that He cannot overcome. There is no family situation, work situation, co-worker, friend, brother, sister, mother, father or child he cannot overcome. He is Mighty to Save.

Oceans Will Part
Hillsong (from the album "Mighty to Save")

If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Welcome to 2007. Now it's your turn to welcome Him to take it.
