My pastor talked about the difference between resolutions and "covenant renewal" yesterday. She reminded us that resolutions are about us, about stuff we're gonna do and not do, and so forth...you know about these darn things. Without re-hashing her exact words, you get the idea of who is at the center of resolutions.
On the other hand, she said, covenant renewal is about relationships. About giving our life to no lesser gods than the God revealed to us in Jesus. That is the sole star to follow, the bearing that will lead us as a people on the Way.
The pastor nailed it, and I hope to be found right where she drove it--all year.

P.S. - Speaking of nailing it, nothing reminds me like a song! I still remember hearing this for the first time many moons ago...Enjoy!
