VOL. 52 : N o 1 : IN PRINT SINCE '73 INSIDE JANUARY Editor's Letter Go After God! It's a new year. So quite naturally, we can expect to hear a list of declarations from family and friends proclaiming their newest "New Year's resolutions." Last year's didn't work. Neither did the ones the year before, for that matter. So, here we are again—declaring our intentions to do steadfastly such things as lose weight, improve our overall health, make more time for family, save money—even pray and spend more time with God. In a survey of 1,005 adults regarding Americans' attitudes toward resolution-setting for 2023, 77% of its respondents told Forbes Health/OnePoll that they keep themselves accountable when it comes to sticking to their goals. Overall, 81% said they were confident in their ability to reach their goals and 85% felt that resolutions would have a positive impact beyond 2023. That's pretty encouraging for those who have found it difficult to stick with the program, me included—no matter what. So, here's a thought as we begin this new year: Why not let your New Years' resolution be to just go after God? In Matthew 6:33, Jesus told His disciples to "seek the Kingdom of Godabove all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need" (New Living Translation). What do you suppose Jesus meant by "everything"? My guess would be He was talking about all the good things—the blessings and promises from God that are included in His Word, and part of His plan for your life. Everything includes those things that will help to better us—spiritually as well as in the natural! If we go after God and not trust in our own ability to better ourselves, if we strive to live the way He desires—putting our faith, trust and confidence in Him—then we don't need to make resolutions that stand a chance of never coming to fruition. God will see that our goals are reached! He says in Jeremiah 29:11, "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for" (The Message). Resolve today, and all year long, to go after God! Ronald C.
