Many begin the year with worthwhile goals: eat less, exercise more, spend more time with family.

Although many stay faithful for a while, after a few months, very few of us are still going strong.

Now, just think of everything Jesus accomplished in a few short years. He started off His ministry with a type of resolution, too. He would preach the gospel, heal the sick, and eventually, die for all mankind.

Jesus accomplished what He set out to do, but He didn’t accomplish it all at once. He simply focused on one task at a time. And He didn’t just rely on his divine “super powers” to keep His resolve. Living as a human just like you and me, He depended on the strength of His heavenly Father.

So, perhaps it’s time to revisit your resolutions, your dreams, your goals. Don’t just aim to accomplish the big things. Instead, commit to taking one step at a time and relying on the power of God to help you finish each task.

Resolve to begin every day anew with God. In this way, every day can be the beginning of an exciting adventure with Him.
