The beginning of a new year normally prompts folks to change. We often refer to this as “turning over a new leaf.” We tend to make New Year resolutions, start diets (God forbid), and make promises to exercise get in shape. As I said, we “turn over a new leaf.”
Something that occurred to me the other day is that simply turning over a new leaf is not enough. We must be certain that we are turning over the right leaf, and the right leaf only comes from the tree of life.
Prov 3:18
[Wisdom] is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

In turning over that new leaf, remember that God is the giver of wisdom. Make sure that your new leaf is a godly leaf.
