So we're on the threshold of a new year. Only 2 and a bit days away now.
Is 2012 going to look like 2011 for you? What stupid mistakes did you have to deal with this year that need to be avoided like the plague next year?
It's the subtle ones you need to watch out for most. Have you recently been reconciled to the lie that a hard-earned pint is your reward each evening? Or perhaps that a little porn every now again isn't so bad?! Have you decided to stop praying with all your heart for those loved ones around you in need of Jesus? Maybe you've decided to stop giving a portion of your money each month - just for a little while. Maybe, just maybe, you've decided that the Bible isn't all that, and have decided not to make it part of your daily routine?
Or maybe you can't be bothered going to church anymore; can't be bothered praying with your spouse; speaking to others about Jesus; or perhaps you just cannot be arsed to make an effort at work any longer...
The many varied lies that the Devil has won you over with need to be carefully dealt with, all year round - but the start of a new year is as good a place as any to take that personal inventory. Fine-tooth-comb it and leave no stone unturned. 2012 COULD be an amazing year for the Lord.
