ActionPrepared

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action: be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed."
~ 1 Peter 1:13

It's been crazy around here and it's late so this will probably be a short post, sorry about that.

We're nearing the end of 2010. Some people set resolutions for the new year, I've never really participated in this tradition. However, I think this verse is great for a "new year resolution."

This year of 2011, and beyond, I am going to prepare my mind for action and have self-control, and I would encourage you to do the same thing.

How do I plan to prepare my mind? The best way I can think of is by being in the Word every day, which seems to be a basic enough concept. If I'm being totally honest though, I'm not reading my Bible every day. So my goal is to be more diligent in studying God's Word.

Self-control. I don't know what it is you're struggling with, and I'm not going to tell you what my biggest issue is. There are some things that are just hard to say no to, but I encourage you to take back control from any addictions you may have. It's not an easy road, but it's possible, especially since you have God on your side.

We have so much hope in the grace that Christ has given us. Don't let your soul be downtrodden. Be ActionPrepared.

On a slightly unrelated topic, I'm going to be doing something else this year and I want you to be a part of it if you want. Check out my new blog here: http://christmasall365days.blogspot.com/
I'm not going to give you all the details here, but it has something to do with new year resolutions.

God Bless!
