In 2012, listen up!

"A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the 
other." -Anonymous

Researchers have determined that advertisers bombard us with
approximately 
2,000,000,007 messages a day telling us to buy, buy, buy. Then, there's
the 
news
channels telling us to worry, worry, worry. And there's all the other
things 
we hear from teachers, bosses, spouses, kids. Wow! No wonder we have a
hard
time with New Year's resolutions. We have so many people telling us what
to 
do, we barely have time to think for ourselves. let alone think about
what
God thinks.

So if there is one resolution that I might offer as a valid one for
someone 
who is in Christ, it would be this:

In 2012, just listen up.

Ask Christ to create a quiet spot in your soul where just the two of you
can 
meet, and talk, and rest as you go about your days. Sure, reach for the 
stars
and plan for the future if you wish, but ask Him to make His presence a 
deeper reality as you go about life.

You can claim the same promise that the prophet Isaiah gave Israel during

some very difficult and noisy days of their own:

Your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your 
Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the 
way,
walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Then 
you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your
gold-plated
metal images. You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to
them, 
"Be gone!" -Isaiah 30:20-22(ESV)

Where might this lead? I have no idea. But God does. If you are aware of
who 
He is in you, and if you reflect on the truth of His Word and listen to
the
Spirit, all the details will work themselves out step-by-step.

Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are with me, that You are in me. 
Resolutions might come in one year and go out the other. Open my ears this

year, so that
I can hear You and enjoy You at every junction, when You tell me to turn 
right or left. Amen.
