Well, here is something new; eating a dunked Oreo without touching it! Nice way to start off the beginning of a New Year with a "new" idea! This year, thousands upon thousands of people will make New Year's resolutions to change; change their habits, change their goals, change their LIFE!! But, will they do it? If statistics are any guide- most won't, but then, anything is possible....
Colossians, Chapter 3 (WEB)
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. 5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. 7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; 8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. 9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, 11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Those who will change will think of higher things (vs.1) and put off those things which are ungodly and put on the higher things of God. Read the entire passage, it covers many, many things. The main idea here is to love God and let HIM show you the right way to live. Then, do it- but have a dunked Oreo first- you will be glad you did!!!
