Well, do you ever wonder why you want to make significant changes in your life and you

try and you try to change, but you can't?

Anybody ever frustrated with that?

What I want to do today is I want to show you what I really honestly believe is an incredibly

powerful truth from Scripture that may be new for you to give you a change in the way

you think that may help change the way you live.

Because once you live long enough like me, it's kind of depressing when you start to realize

that oftentimes your New Year's resolutions seem like they bleed over from year to year.

I don't know if you're like this, but a lot of times what I want to do this year is the

same thing I wanted to do last year and the same thing I wanted to do the year before,

but I haven't done it yet and you know how it goes so often you try so hard to make the

changes that you want to make and you succeed for a day or a week or two weeks and then

you tend to fall back into the very unhealthy habit that you wanted to get out of.

If you have a New Year's resolution and you're still living it, guess what?

You're doing pretty dang good.

In fact, if you keep it all the way to Valentine's Day, you're in the top percentile of those

who actually follow through because believe it or not, 80% of New Year's resolutions end

up falling apart and failing by the second week of February.

Why is that?

I'm going to show you today exactly why it is and what God's Word says about how we can

change because you know all of us were trying to start something new or stop something old

and we fall back into the old patterns.
