We’re only a few days into the new year. How are your resolutions holding up?

Before you hang your head in shame, know that up to 80 percent of us quit our resolutions by the end of January every year.  If your resolution hasn’t stuck, you’re in good company.  But I have hope for you today.  You can start over with greater success while using the fruit of self-control.

As I wrote about in my book, The Fruitful Life, self-control has always been the most challenging fruit for me to bear.  I feel that if I could gain more self-control, the Holy Spirit would bless me with more fruit in the eight other areas.  At the end of 2019, I read a wonderful book on self-control…

Do you feel like giving up today?

At this time of year, so many people have already given up on their resolutions. Winter blues may be pressing down on you, and we’re still not through with the grey skies, snow and ice yet. It’s hard to hang on to hope when momentum dries up.

You may be struggling with other temptations to give up too. Prayers that seem to go unanswered for weeks, months or years. Job situations that test your resolve. Family issues that repeat in worn-out cycles. I know…I’ve been there on all of those.

By meditating on a key scripture, you can keep on keeping on with greater faith.
