New Year Resolutions



So, what sort of New Year’s resolution should a Christian make? 

Here are some suggestions: 

  1. Pray to the Lord for wisdom (James 1:5) regarding what resolutions, if any, He would have you make; 
  2. Pray for wisdom as to how to fulfil the goals God gives you; 
  3. Rely on God’s strength to help you; 
  4. Find an accountability partner who will help you and encourage you; 
  5. Don’t become discouraged with occasional failures; instead, allow them to motivate you further;
  6. Don’t become proud or vain; give God glory. 

Psalm 37:5-6 says, “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.”

Faith

Faith has always been the mark of a disciple of Jesus. The early disciples were known as Believers. Faith is the total dependence on God. When Adam sinned he steppd out of God-dependence to in-dependence (unbelief). Therefore God puts high priority on faith. Faith is how we are able to get back into a relationship with God (God-dependence – faith ). Faith advances you beyond your five senses – seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, releases us from our limited capabilities. In faith we move from inability to His – ability. This is the walk of faith we are all called to. Mat 17:20 - He said to them, “Because of your little faith.
