Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2

Some of us may have started out this year with every good intention to follow Jesus, but, somewhere along the way we allowed ourselves to be swayed by other distractions, but, God understands. So, before we begin to make any New Year resolutions, let us take some time to reflect back on 2017. Let us try to name the things that caused us to lose our way, write them down, and bring them before God, asking for his guidance in the New Year.  We can do nothing in our own strength, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Let us learn to follow Jesus one step at a time, keeping our eyes fixed on him, who is the author and finisher of our faith.
