Never 2 Late

As I walk into the new year I am reminded of something I heard Chuck Swindoll say while I was delivering pizza in College,

"It's never 2 late to start doing what is right."

There's so much to stop doing. There's so much to start doing. Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church has been on my heart and it's the first thing I've started doing in the new year that I know will have eternal value: memorizing and praying scripture,

"14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
