During the past year we may have done many things whether beneficial or devastating, but we have to ask ourselves what we have done for God. Have a time to think, what did I do for God? And what did God do for me? This is a question that we must ask every year and this is what we must look at in order to set goals for the new year!
There are many things we may have been able to fulfill such as getting a new job, a new weight, a new mindset, but the one thing we have not been able to fulfill is the preparation for God to dwell with His people. With so many wars still taking place, with many people dying, is this a world prepared for the heavens to come? When we look at Revelation 21, we see that the Holy City New Jerusalem finally comes down to the earth where God is finally with His people. However, this has not fulfilled and it is something we should all strive to help God return to His people.
God has given a way for Him to finally return to His people and if we look in Heb 8, we are able to see that God returns to those who know His word and the New Covenant in their hearts and their minds. Then we must ask ourselves, do we have the words in our hearts and our minds? The very reason God left his creation in Genesis 6, is because His creation rejected His commands. For so long, God has been waiting and another year has passed for us while for God, He has gone through many. For us we say that we have gone through so much this year, but God has been going through so much more.
More than anything, we should thrive to make this year a year where we are that much closer for God to finally return, that means we must keep the New covenant in our hearts and our minds as well as making sure that everyone around us do as well. This is how God can finally come to a people who have the same mind and heart as Him.
Let us all make it a resolution to do our best to keep the New Covenant! Amen!
