New year, new you with God as the leader

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

Will the new year be better or more of the same? Who actually determines it, God, the devil, others or you?

The honest truth is simple. Many powers outside of our control have a direct influence on the way our year turns out. The good news is that your influence can be a game changer with a few minor adjustments you can change your world. Simple, important and affordable.

Step 1. The experts tell us that the most successful people in the world universally have a set early morning routine. No better example than Jesus. Mark 1:35. He was in the habit of getting up early for quiet reflection and meditation. But to be a habit you must persevere. This one thing can change your life. Once it is a habit, it is easy and rewarding.

Step 2. Choose carefully who you spend your time with. You cannot avoid negative, toxic people totally. But you can limit their exposure in your day. Surround yourself with positive people and you will notice an immediate difference.

Step 3. Take care of your body. The Bible puts it so well. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God lives in you. This leads me to my personal new year’s goals. Sleep more, exercise daily and watch what I put into my body. We are what we eat. Why don’t you join me today on a journey of taking personal responsibility for yourself.

You and I write our own history.
