We’ve finished January, which means we may have given up on our New Year resolutions. And you may be feeling guilty about it. Paul tells us: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Col 3:23).

We should work heartily for God, and we can’t even keep it up for a month? Straightforward as that little verse is, we can completely bungle it. I’ve bungled it over and over. By doing too much.
