January 2013
Dear Praying Friends,
By the time you receive this letter, many New Year’s
resolutions will have gone the way of 2012. Good intentions once again bite the dust. We all want to be better husbands, or better
wives, or better parents. We resolve to
lose weight, save money, to pay off debts, be kinder, or to work harder. Yet we seem to fail over and over again. Why? Because we cannot trust our flesh to do
what is right.
Instead of trusting in ourselves to make the necessary
changes, let us instead seek God and allow Him
to change us! The Lord knows what we
need to stop and what we need to start.
He knows all the areas we need to change and He knows how to change
them. He knows how to make us better
spouses, better parents and better church members. He knows how to help us save money, pay off
debts and be kinder to those around us.
The Creator knows how to help us lose weight and be healthy. Yet, it seems He is the last one we turn
to.
So, instead of reading yet another self help article
or jumping onto the bandwagon of the latest fad, let us seek God in 2013. Let us surrender to Him and to His
leading. Let us allow Him to change us
into the image of His dear Son! God can
change us when we cannot change ourselves.
God can create in us a clean heart and a right spirit. Let us seek the Lord God Almighty and allow
Him to do what we could never do in 2013!
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall
search for me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13
Seeking Him,
Mark Hale
