This quote from yesterday's devotion by D.A. Carson pretty much sums up why I've been feeling the need to make some resolutions. There's too much drifting going on in my life these days.
"People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated."
Man, but I have been all about some "relaxation" the past few years. Time to regain some self-control.
Is there anything you make a point of doing every day or week to keep you grounded rather than drifting?
