And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8: 28 – 30 KJV
Each yeah people do resolutions at the beginning of the year. Typically, when people do resolution it is about what they want God to do for them. But resolutions should be about what God wants from us and that is total obedience. If you can find out what God wants from you and you can key into it, then our life would be one of great joy.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8: 28 KJV. If we take our time to understand the scripture, we would understand the mind of God. Even the early Christians were faced with challenges we faced today in their walk with Christ. When bad things happened to the early Christians even after giving their life to Christ; Paul made them understand that all things work together for the good of all that rely on and trust God.

A person without Christ find it difficult for him/her to conform to the will and image of Christ. It is tough but can be easy if we focus on the one thing – the love of God. The key is to find this God and love Him in truth and unconditionally. Focus on God and on where we are going in life. There are so many distractions around us and if we allow ourselves to be held up by the distraction life would become difficult.
Our new year resolution should be to focus on God and on the things that would reflect the nature of God to the world. In the book of Romans 8:31 Apostle Paul said, “What do we then say, if God be for us who can be against us?” If you love God key into the purpose of His will for you.
