The year 2017 will bring to us new and exciting challenges. The one thing that we all can be sure of is that change will be coming our way in one form or another. By the time you are reading this newsletter, we will have a new President leading our country. New leadership often brings about change. These kinds of change are decisions others make that affect our lives and we need to make adjustments. There is a change however that we can control ourselves. It is a commitment to do what pleases God no matter what happens; and making that our goal for life. We read in Daniel 1:8 that, “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself…” it meant that he made up his mind ahead of time that he would do what God’s Word says. Daniel’s faithfulness to God was something that he did not want to change. Although Daniel was just a young man, his life made a big impact for God to those who lived in his day as well as for us to be encouraged by it today. Get out your Bible and read his story in the Old Testament and then purpose in your heart to change to live more committed to God this year than ever.
DARE TO BE A DANIEL!
