Making a new year's plan involves making resolutions to do this or not to do that. It also concerns one to be a better person or to be in the better position or state of being.
But when you think about it, as Albert Einstein said, when we do the same thing over and over again, and still expect different results, we only prove ourselves as 'insane'.
How then should we do things differently? Isaiah 43:18-19 answer the question, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing. And it already springs up. Do you not perceive it?" Actually as Isaiah said, God sent His one and only Son Jesus who has already done a new work, on you, just as the Apostle Paul says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new is here." Thus, what we are to go for is, not just to be a better person, but to put on the new self, as is written: "Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness", and "put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator." Eph 4:24; Col 3:10
So what is in demand is to be 'renewed', for renewal is different from improvement. Inasmuch as what He has accomplished on you is already perfect, what is needed is to be renewed at a time called "NOW". This is what the RTS (Real Time Synchronization) is all about.
