THE NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Each New Year present us with new demands, new problems, and a variety of seemingly impossible thins with which to cope.  But as Believers in Christ, we can triumph at over every point!

Turning points in life are appropriate for making promises (resolutions).  Many are not taken seriously, however.  But the following set from the Bible should be adopted by every true Believer.  We should do our utmost to keep them, and the Holy Spirit is ever willing to help us.

I RESOLVE LIKE:

STEPHEN - to exhibit a forgiving attitude toward those who seek my harm.  [Acts 7:60]

DANIEL  - to continue in praye even during sever adversity.  (Dan. 6:10)

MOSES - to choose suffering rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.  [Heb. 11:24-25]

CALEB & JOSHUA - to refuse to let superior numbers band me from the path of truth. (Numbers 14:6-9

JOB - to trust in God even when I do not understand His ways with me.  (Job 13:15)

TIMOTHY - to be thoroughly acquainted with the Holy Scriptures.  [1 Tim. 3:15]

PETER & JOHN - to live and act in such a waythat others will marvel and recognize that I have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13)

ABRAHAM - to live by faith, as a pilgrim on earth, looking for the city whose builder and maker is God. [Hebrews 11:8-13]
