Let's dive into this episode.

The biblical way to approach New Year's goals, and most people get this wrong. Why I believe you shouldn't have New Year's resolutions, but you should try this instead. It's the time of the year where most people set New Year's resolutions, but you should try this instead. It's the time of the year where most people set New Year's resolutions.

And the top resolutions are lose weight, remove debt or pay off debt, save money, get a better job, get fit,

eat right, get better education, drink less alcohol, quit smoking, reduce stress, take a trip, get involved more in the church, read the Bible, pray fast.

But sadly, most of us end up keeping these resolutions instead.

We read less books, gain more weight, we don't exercise, we watch more TV, we drop list of people that hurt us and we hurt them back,

we start drinking alcohol, we eat things like candy, Big Macs and popcorn and ice cream, we work less,

we begin to play more video games and then we pick up new bad habits like smoking or tobacco or some other stuff.

Or we get numbed with television or whatever that is.

And so by the time that February hits, many people find that their New Year's resolutions do not last.

Now, why do New Year's resolutions fail?

The University of Scranton research said that only 9% of individuals feel

that they are successful in achieving their New Year resolutions.

There's few reasons.

One, sometimes we said unrealistic goals. Sometimes we lack proper tracking of progress.

We make too many resolutions.

We quit when we don't feel like doing it, or we lack a support system.

Now, what does the Bible say about setting up New Year's resolutions and goals for the year.

While the Bible does not directly command making the New Year's resolutions,

it supports thoughtful and prayer for planning rooted in God's will.
