An Author says,
"Success requires no explation while failure permits no alibi."
For some weeks now, (do you say months? I agree.) people have been preparing for the New Year, 2013.
New Year Resolutions have been dropping like rain. Resolutions filled with hope and aspirations were made.
Age, sex, education or race are no barriers to this yearly exercise.
Have you made new resolutions for this year? What have you made out of the previous years' resolutions?
Do you have excuses for your failed resolutions. Excuses cannot replace success. If you have failed, you have failed. The size, quality and quantity of your alibis notwithstanding, you have failed!
You are, however, not a failure.
This a new year. It is new and fresh. Package and repackage your resolutions and make them attainable.
Please note that excuses are weapons in the hand of satan to scuttle your plans and desires. He wants to use them to cheat and abandon you.
In the Garden of Eden, the first parents had believable, genuine and sufficient alibis but those alibis could not bail them out of the wrath of their Creator.
If execuses did not help them, it will not help you!
Therefore, never allow excuses to ruin your resolutions this year, no matter how genuine they may appear to be.
Please, let me ask you, "Have you included in your 2013 resolutions a strong plan to have the best relatioship with the Lord?"
This is the most important one.
He promises you in Psalm 32:8 that
"I will instruct you and teach you in
the way you should go;
I will guide you with my eye." New King James Version (NKJV)
Let the Lord do this for you because without Him, you can do or achieve nothing.
I pray that all your Godly resolutions will come to pass in 2013 in Jesus' Name.
Excuses are not your friends, don't give them any chance.
Happy New Year!
