YOUR BEST YEAR EVER
Would you like to change your life for the better? Can you imagine what it would be like if this new year you experienced success like no year before? I know it’s possible. But where do you begin?
Maybe you finally want to get healthy. You have decided that this will be the year of eating right and exercising. You would love to look better and have more energy.
Or you want to make your marriage better. The most important relationship in your life needs to be more loving and supportive. And you want to be the spouse who initiates it.
It could be time to get your finances in order. You want to get out of debt and start saving. And as you think about retirement you know things must change.
There could be a long-time dream that you would like to finally come true. But you know it will take a goal and daily action for the dream to become reality.
But if there was only one thing you could do this year, what would it be? What if one daily practice could end up helping you with all your goals. And what if it could be done in just five minutes each day?
That daily practice is a devotional time. This is a quiet time where you read a devotion and pray. Ideally in the morning before you start your day, but it can be done at lunch, in the evening or before bedtime. Just five minutes each day will change your life, not just this year but forever.
A devotion is a brief meditation based on a bible verse that takes less than three minutes to read. I’ve written a new devotional book titled This Is Living. There are 100 daily devotions to inspire you. Each has a great story that illustrates the message from a bible verse.
After reading it you’ll be filled with hope and faith. Then you spend a few minutes in prayer and now you’re ready to take on your day. Beginning the day with a positive outlook helps you cope with stress, anxiety and situations where you need a shift in perspective.
James 4:8 tells us, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” As you draw closer to God by having a daily devotional time he will give you greater inspiration, insight and peace. You will open up to receive more love and joy in your life.
Try it, start today. You’ll have your best year ever.
