I like the word "New". It is exciting to know that every January 1 we get to start another "New" year. Of course, that means that we will wrestle with maintaining our focus on some "New" goals, also known as "New" Year's resolutions. A lot of folks will join me in working toward a "New" daily routine of getting some exercise and eating a healthier diet.
But the "New" year also is a great time to "Re-New" your focus on your spiritual health and well being. How about a "New" habit of reading your Bible every single day. I suggest taking advantage of The Daily Bible. It is in chronological order with 365 daily readings, with commentary by F. LaGard Smith, published by Harvest House. You can get one worth the money at http://www.allbibles.com/, which has a warehouse in Shawnee.
Another great thing to focus on in this "New" year is prayer. Enjoy your daily Bible reading and then spend some time in prayer. The privilege of prayer is one of the special gifts God has given us. Few, if any, things express our dependance upon God like prayer.
Here's a little nugget of spiritual protein for today.
"that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24
