January - named after the god Janus. A two-faced god that could look backward and forward. Looking to where he has been and where he is going. The Apostle Paul, however, tells us not to dwell upon that which is in our past, [Col 3:13] and not to let past defeats follow us, nor to live in the past victories.
I believe that the New Year mentality is necessary for God's people in order not to be trapped by the past. God setup two "New Years" for Israel. One, a secular New Year starting in the month of Tishri - Yom Kippur. Second, a religious New Year starting in month of Nisan - Passover season.
I am setting goals this year and not resolutions. Goals are measurable - reachable.
I get discouraged over resolutions.
Lord may my goals for this new year be your goals for my life.
