New Year’s Resolution?

Jan2

Psalm 25:1 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

The soul. The life and spirit of each person. So, to lift up my soul to the Lord is to lift up my life, my spirit. Lift or raise as an offering, a sweet aroma to God. An offering, a sacrifice on the altar of God. God desires your free will offering – your life – to be given to Him so He can do a marvelous work in you. The work of restoration of your soul (clean up the gunk and make better) and then His work to the world through you. Are you willing to lift up your soul to the Lord God and be renewed, refreshed, changed for the better? May God lead and bless you and your endeavors to lift up your soul to Him.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon

The Holidays

Jan1

A time of joy, laughter, family, friends, hustle, bustle, traffic, rushing, pushing, shoving, endless agenda . . . WAIT! What just happened? We try to pack so much into our already busy routine schedules and at the end of it all we find ourselves exhausted, spent, tired, irritable, and overwhelmed. What is the solution? “Cease striving (let go, relax) and know that I am God” – Psalm 46:10. The focus is not the holiday but God. The holiday wouldn’t be if not for God. He is to be our focus. Seek Him continuously. My hope is that your New Year focus will be God and his infinite love for you. Happy New Year!

Continuously seeking Him,

Sharon
