Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We're now a week-and-a-half into a new year. How are you doing with those changes and commitments you made for the new year? Don't give up or quit on them... even if you're having trouble staying on track. But, let's remember that the only real commitment for this year is essential: We ask the Lord where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do, then we go there and do it.
