Leading my heart

Happy New Year everyone!

It’s a time for resolutions for many. I generally don’t make them, but looking at today’s psalm, I see ways that by God’s grace I want to lead my heart this year.

I will choose not to be ruled by anger when I see things on the news and social media. (Psalm 37:1, 7-8)

I’m sure I will get angry at times, and that’s okay. But I will not let anger or fear dominate my thinking.

Instead, I will choose to trust God, be silent before him, and wait expectantly for him to act in his timing, not mine. (7)

In the meantime, I will do the good he has asked of me, serving my good King. (3)

May we all lead our hearts in that way this year, being God’s light to darkened world.
