January 2012 – Let me give you a glimpse of something to think about as you enter the new year. Many people will make some resolutions, but lets just dissect that word. “Re” is a prefix meaning to go back and “Solution” has at least two definitions.
The first meaning for “Solution” is a mixture. If you make a resolution, be sure to “Re” go back and use the biblical “solution” of mixing your faith with God’s power. Proverbs 3 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and not lean on our own understanding.
Take a moment and lean to the right. Now lean further. A bit further. Can you go some more? Stay in that position as you read this paragraph. I think this is a picture of much of the church. We have leaned so far over away from Kingdom principles and thoughts, and occasionally we lean back into God, and think that we are straight and in an even position, yet we are so distorted in our Kingdom viewpoints, that we really do miss the mark. And then we wonder where God’s power is, but it is our own fault because we have leaned the wrong direction and into the wrong power source.
Without God’s power mixed into the resolution, we run the risk of leaning only on our own understanding, which is why most resolutions fail.
The second meaning of the word solution is the word answer. In math class, we discovered answers and solutions to the problems by working the problem out mathematically. The bible translates the word “answer” 366 times, enough for one answer a day even in a leap year like 2012. So “Re” and go back to the biblical answers for the solutions to your resolutions that you are seeking to achieve this next year. Seek first the Kingdom of God first along with His righteousness. Lean into God. Rest on Him. Walk in Righteousness. Walk in Faith and mix it with God’s power and then I believe that you will see these resolutions added unto you.
