During the first week of a January, I reflect on positive changes to make in the new year.  Losing weight has always been at the top of my resolution list.  Fitness goals follow, and I also try breaking a bad habit, like being late.  Over the years, I have learned most resolutions are made to be broken.  While self-improvement is not bad, some of my aims have selfish motives. These short term goals will produce no lasting results.

For long lasting change, I need to shift my focus to a heavenly one.  Psalm 119:20 is, “My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.” (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011). My resolution for 2018 is to seek God.  I desire to fill my heart and mind with more of Him.  This will help me to reach any other goal I have.  I trust God knows and will help me improve where I need it.  My 2018 resolution is to remain hungry for God.
