Can you do a favor for me? Can we all just forget for the next few moments as you read this that we are already three weeks into 2017? Because if you don’t do this for me, it will seem pretty lame that I am just now writing a post about my goals for the new year. (Maybe goal #1 should be to get to things in a more timely fashion…)

Have you made any New Year’s resolutions this year? I usually take the time to set some goals as the calendar year flips and the best way I’ve found to be successful at accomplishing them is to tell others about them. If I tell enough people, I feel obligated to follow through so they don’t think that I’m a loser! Having said that, I am excited and looking forward to see what God has planned for 2017!

I had someone ask me yesterday how God was speaking to me this Christmas. I thought about how I had been touched by the humility of Christ as I wrote about last week. But another thought gripped me as well. Because of my connection with music, I often have a song in my head that is very meaningful at every particular point in my life. During this Christmas season, that song has been “A King Like This” by Chris Tomlin (the video for this song is at the bottom of this post – check it out.) This song didn’t really mean much to me when I first heard it, but it was a part of my church choir’s program this year which meant we sang it quite a bit. At some point, the chorus struck a nerve in my brain: “He is Christ the Lord; He is Christ the Savior. I bow my heart before no other name. I bow my heart before no other King.”
