The Only Resolution You Need for the New Year
When you place the pressure on yourself to get things done, it can bring you under the Law.
“I will not....”, “I must do this”, etc.
New Year resolutions don’t help. Willpower and self-discipline can produce temporary results, but the works of the flesh aren’t lasting and often come with undesirable tradeoffs.
Are you willing to double your income and damage your health in the process just to fulfill a new year resolution by your own strength?
You’ll end up paying the money you’ve earned to the hospital!
Are you trying to lose weight by extreme dieting? You’re depriving your body of important nutrients it needs, and not to mention that terrible rebound when you stop dieting. It’s not a long term solution.
What we need is to repeatedly refocus our spiritual eyes back to Jesus whenever we are tempted to look away from Him.
The prefix “re-“ can have the meaning of “once more; afresh; anew”.
Jesus is the New Year re-Solution we need. Have a problem? Go to Jesus once more. Need wisdom? Receive from Jesus afresh. Feeling fearful or worried about something? Meditate on Jesus’ love anew.
I was just reading one of my favorite psalms 139 and allowing it to fill me with a sense of God’s love, and I was particular drawn to this passage:
“If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night”; even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.” (Psalms 139:11-12 WEB)
Our eyes need light to see. Even with perfect eyesight, we can’t see in total darkness.
It’s okay, because to Jesus, the darkness is still as clear as light. Nothing is hidden from His sight, so rely on Him to give you wisdom.
Jesus is most willing to share what He sees with you.
The year 2020 ahead may seem like pitch blackness because you can’t see the future, but Jesus knows what is ahead.
Ask Him to remove the pitfalls, give you wisdom to face the challenges and to give you favor in every situation.
As you follow His leading through His Spirit inside you, He will guide you by the hand to navigate through the darkness, into a good place!
The one with perfect 20/20 vision in 2020 is Jesus! Follow Him and you will see clearly through Him.
“You crown the year with Your bounty, And Your paths overflow.” (Psalms 65:11 AMP)
You may not be able to see where He’s leading you, but as you walk in Jesus’ paths by faith, you will find them overflowing with His bounty (abundant blessings)!

Your Past is Settled—Look Steadily Towards Your Bright Future!
“Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a great priest over God’s house, let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful. Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:19-25 WEB)
Under the Law, entering the Holy of Holies was an old and dying way because the High Priest could drop dead if he made a mistake like accidentally touching the Ark of the Covenant.
Hence, he would enter with fear and trepidation every year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), desperately hoping to come out alive with a blessing for the people.
However under Grace, entering God’s presence through prayer is a new and living way.
Every time we go to Him in prayer, we receive a fresh impartation of life—dead parts of our lives are restored back to life.
In Christ, what was once fatal to man became life-giving for man.
When we pray, we can do so without unbelief or expectation of punishment for sins because the price has been paid and God is for us, not against us.
Remember that when you enter your Abba Father’s presence through prayer, Jesus your great High Priest is also seated at His right hand, representing you there.
Abba Father doesn’t look at your works to judge your worthiness to be in His presence—He looks at Jesus your High Priest.
To have an evil conscience is to think that your sins are still not forgiven, even after Jesus has already paid the price for them.
What is the solution? Sprinkle your conscience—show it Scriptures that the blood of Jesus has been shed for the forgiveness of your sins.
The pure water is the water of God’s word. When you receive and believe God’s word, it washes your body—cleansing it from sickness, disease, aging and weakness—all the manifestations of Death.
The author was addressing the Jews who professed to have faith in Jesus, encouraging them not to go back to the Law out of fear of persecution.
Even if we suffer persecution for our faith, it is worth it because in Christ we have eternal life with God.
Now that the question of your past—your sins that Jesus carries at the cross—is settled, you can focus on looking towards your bright future in Christ.
We love and do good works not to be forgiven, but because there are rewards to look forward to in the Millennium.
We can’t run this race alone—the body of Christ needs to encourage one another to look to the glorious future ahead and add more members to itself.
In low seasons, when you don’t have the faith to look steadily into the future, fellow children of God at your local church community can help to encourage you with God’s word, pray for you and strengthen you with love.
The Day of Jesus’ return for us (the Rapture) is nearing with each passing day.
Let’s live in anticipation of that Day, which marks the finish line of our race in this mortal lifetime.
It may not happen in our lifetime, but let’s expect it as if it is so that we have an urgency towards the things of God!

This clip is from: Joseph Prince—How To Make Every Day Count For The Rest Of Your Life! (30 Dec 2012) @josephprince
We've seen all the memes and bemoaned the fact that 2020 can be summed up as a year of uncertainty, dashed hopes and derailed plans. If you're feeling disappointed about how the year has been (or not been) so far, watch this video to find out how God is able to restore and redeem lost time for you.
Friend, no matter how frustrating the past year may have been, nothing is ever a mistake to God and nothing is wasted in His hands. Instead of struggling to resolve the situation yourself, you can invite Jesus into your life and situation, and let Him do what He does best—restorative miracles! He longs to pour out blessings and favor into your life but will never force them on you. Would you invite Him into your boat today and let Him redeem the time that’s been lost this year?
